Orientals Anyone?

[kcghost]

Unfortunately for me, I don't enjoy blends that are primarily Oriental.

Agreed. Though, at this point I'm quite happy with Mrs. Howell....

That’s probably a Lakeland blend

For me, my favorite Oriental of all time, and will probably will remain so, was McClelland Classic Samsun.

The tin note always reminded me of the spice cabinet at my grandmothers as a child and the flavor was exceptional.

Was not one I would always be drawn to, but that blend still ranks as one of my all time favorites.

I agree. CS is fantastic, and I’m very glad I had already stocked up when McClelland closed its doors

Squadron Leader is a lat-forward blend, while utilizing the same tobaccos in different proportions, Skiff Mixture is oriental-forward. I've smoked a lot of both but Skiff edges it for me - I have both in my cellar and I know that a tin of Skiff will be next up over the SL.

I’m smoking Geometrie atm and it’s delicious and has no Latakia. I’d also suggest MB Balkan bend if you want Latakia.

Wilke Coronado Orential is good stuff.

Only if she can cook and clean!

Watch City has some great ones. Glass Slipper is soooo good. Simply VOriental is what I smoke when I want my VaOr [relatively] unadorned. Finally, English Ernie-ental is the English blend for those who don’t like Latakia. It’s got some, but Ernie does something to it that; well you need to try some.
