Hi folks, just occured to ask you, has here somebody who have had any experience with highlighted tobacco mixture in their past or present?This brand seems to be rarely available nowadys-perhaps except for some rare German or UK based tobacconist,yet my understanding is that this Orcilla Mix, is Oriental forward or simply orient

type English tobacco?Am I right?Thank you for your thoughts,as always they're been much appreciated, Have a Great day Y'all, Paul

Having similar conversations, I believe you are correct, although having not smoked this blend I cannot confirm

Orcilla is decidedly very Oriental forward, but I'm pretty sure there are some Virginias in there that help develop the flavors and provide a foundation. It tastes like there is a trace of Latakia too. In this genre, especially since the Ferndowns haven't been produced for years, I prefer James Fox Campanile.
