Oriental

[jabomano]

What's your favorite non aromatic Oriental or Oriental forward tobacco? No McClellands please.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Presbyterian, McConnells Oriental, C&D Oriental Silk, and anything with Turkish in it...

 

[perdurabo]

GLP Cairo, Temple Bar, and Charing Cross.

Cornell & Diehl Bijou. Some may consider that this blend lacks smoothness, however, this true Oriental blend keeps me coming back for more, bowl after bowl. I'll be watching this thread as, although I smoke pretty well all genres, I identify the taste of Oriental forward blends as the consummate pipe smokers tobacco.

 

[perdurabo]

C&D Dreams of Kadath, another great one.

+1 on McConnell's Oriental
But -1 on Oriental Silk.

 

[prairiedruid]

John Cotton's Smyrna

Two that come immediately to mind are Sutliff's Westminster (not GLP) and C&D Riverboat Gambler, a tin of which I recently opened. Unfortunately, neither of these is widely available, but they do turn up.

May be some debate whether or not all these are oriental: GLP Meridian, Penzance, Exotique and Star of the East. I consider GLP Quiet Nights an Oriental and think it is marvelous.

LJ Peretti Tashkent.

Unfortunately the closest I got to Oriental was in latakia blends, not unfortunate blends but unfortunate because I didn't smoke more of them. I thought Quiet Nights and Gaslight were immeasurably enhanced by them. If the latakia could be called steady, the oriental produced considerable movement. Exquisite.

I've only just recently started to explore orientals more. I'm adding Temple Bar to the list..

 

[npod]

+1 on both John Cotton’s Smyrna and Temple Bar.

 

[mikefu]

GLP Cairo, SPC Seattle Nights, Hearth and Home Whiteknight, and Stokkebye English Oriental Supreme for bulk.

 

[mikefu]

Also Red Rapparee

 

[lochinvar]

GLP Cairo, C&D Rajahs Court

 

[rmpeeps]

I’ve enjoyed Cairo since the first tinning. The more recent Regents Flake and Bijou are quite impressive also.

+ 1 LJ Peretti Tashkent.

 

[flakyjakey]

Robert Lewis Orcilla Mixture; GLP Cairo; HU Tobacco Flanagan

I haven't smoked many Orientals, but I liked Watch City Cigar Justice Mixture and Dunhill London Mixture. And let's not forget Dunhill EMP.
