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!

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.

Third try of Peterson’s Perfect Plug. Cut and rubbed out a bit last night, this morning filled a Peterson Ebony Killarney with the dried tobacco, had one of those absolutely great smokes that you don’t want to end. Some trouble to prep this but well worth it this morning.?

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.
