This blend flew right under my radar.
I ordered a tin just for the heck of it during the C&D sale at SP.

Nice balance between the burley and Virginia.
Definitely burley forward but no bite.
It has Perique but it's just a hint.
I'm not picking much of the Turkish.
At least I can't isolate it at all.
All in all this is a very nice burley,
It might be the best I've had from C&D and I've had 3 of the 5 burley flakes.
As well as Pegasus and Haunted Bookshop.
I'm buying more.

Cheers

I ordered a tin specifically because the Oriental/Turkish it seemed like a novel leaf in a Burley blend, wondering if it's just an enhancer, nice reminder review gonna have to crack it soon.

Maybe. Honestly I get about 90% burley taste with some VA and Perique in the background,
It's possible that the Turkish is somehow melding with everything else but I can't pick it out.
In any event it's a great smoke for Burley lovers in my opinion. And man does it pack a nic hit.
I cracked the tin and packed giant bowl of it and I could feel it by the end.
I wouldn't consider myself a light weight when it comes to nicotine.
