Büyük bir karşılama~ve güzel bir giriş!

"İsli Pul" tanımınız bazılarımıza "Lazkiye"yi hatırlatacak; bölgeyi değil, tütünü! Son ürün olarak en sevdiğim tütün çeşnilerinden birine ne kadar yakın olabileceğini merak ediyorum.

It smells exactly like smoked meat. Quite intense. The presence of Latakia is inevitable.

And thank you. I've received a fantastic welcome.

An old tobacco. Unfortunately, it's no longer in production. There was also a tobacco produced in Turkey called 'Yayladağ'. We haven't been able to find it for the past 3-4 years.

I really used to enjoy these!

That's awesome! Where will you be? Maybe we can meet up and make the forum a little jealous :D

Welcome! I think you will find that the community here would be very interested in arranging an exchange program to trade for your locally available Turkish tobaccos, which have been sadly unavailable to us for quite some time!

That would actually be amazing. All the tobaccos in the picture are local. There's a bit more in the bag at the back. They're produced as boutique, and I haven't really felt a significant difference in quality compared to the more well-known tobaccos I've tried.

Flakes can sometimes be broken or have a bit too much moisture. I've often found that with a bit of resting, they come into their own. We have around eighty million people in Turkey, and only two people make pipe tobacco. We're really quite a small community :D

PS: My English is not very good. I will use a bit of translation and might make some nonsense.

Welcome from the new Center Of The Known Universe!

Ashland, Oregon

So far, your English is better than most of our native speakers, so no worries.

You're welcome, my neighbor. My family has been here for five generations, and I really love this place. There are a lot of people, and the traffic is heavy, but I still love it.

I have bought a Meerschaum pipe from Master Medet Kara in Turkey. He commissioned a pipe for me that is fabulous. Do you know other master carvers in Turkey?

Welcome from California.

Welcome from California.

To be honest, I've never really been interested in Meerschaum pipes. So, unfortunately, I don't know any expert in this field.
