When you say oriental cigarettes do you mean like the French Gitanes or Gauloise? I’ve been looking for a pipe tobacco with that sort of punchy oriental tang. I don’t recognise what you have there though, doubt it’s available here.TAK Highland Balls is a delightful, complex and unpretentious combination of Virginias and Burleys accentuated, both in presentation and condimentally to the extent you wish, with creamy Oriental leaf. A sumptuous, luxurious experience, without being imposing or tiresome. I offer an emphatic recommendation to the habitué of the classic tinned Oriental cigarettes, which are equally as floral and refined, if only slightly less sweet. A must-try for lovers of Orcilla. Enjoying the mélange in one of my best Leeds-era Ben Wade smokers. Bravo!

Damn!? Nice work @Cotton1. ?️Enjoyed a dry aged Sirloin cut 1in.. grilled to medium, side salad and baked potato this evening. For desert I'm having a 50/50 bowl of Boswell's Chocolate Cream and Granger in my 26s Brigham.
Drink is a slowly poured pint of ambient Guinness Stout.
I always felt that Gitanes and Gauloise were similar to dark fired. I don't know if they contain Oriental tobaccos, though perhaps they do. I was thinking more of the old tinned (canned, cutter-top) variety of filterless Oriental cigarette.When you say oriental cigarettes do you mean like the French Gitanes or Gauloise?
