Great Blog Breaking Down Orientals

[vosBghos]

I'm trying to Identify what the blonde thin leaf in Presbyterian is I think I have a jar of the pure stuff that a tobacconist got for blending but didn't remember what it was, wish this blog had pictures but the description leads me to guess Katerini (Samsun)

Oriental Opulence part 1. | Dutch Pipe Smoker

dutchpipesmoker.com

there is a link to part 2 of the blog at the bottom

if anyone knows what that leaf is the "blonde super thin flat one that sometimes is more organic than shredded (like random chunks)" That would be great, I want to add this to Oriental Silk and give it a go

Thanks

That was a great link -- a "must read" for anyone who loves Oriental blends...

Thanks for sharing! That was a nice read. I had no idea there were so many sub-varieties within Orientals.

Absolutely superb resource. I adore Oriental leaf and enjoyed reading this. A “re-read” for sure. Thank you very much for sharing it.

Update I am bringing the jar of mystery Oriental to my local blender to see if he can identify it I have thus far mixed it with TS-24 and Oriental Silk it gave both of them a tangy buttery must vibe. I need more of this leaf it sat at the old shop in a jar for like 6 years.

That's was an excellent read. I took a good bit away from that. I love Orientals. Enough to even smoke certain ones on their own.
Glad to have learned a little more about them. Will be saving this recourse to read again down the road.
Thanks for the share

Big thanks for the article link! I too love all varieties of the oriental leaf and can't get enough of it.
