D&R Ramback, Presbyterian, Old Dublin, White Knight, Balkan Sobranie, Balkan Sasieni, BSOSM Match, Black House, Squadron Leader, Star of the East Gold, and almost anything with Oriental or Balkan in the name.
Kind of a tricky question. Depends on what you consider "Macedonian" vs "Turkish". If you're looking for leaf specifically from the Macedonian region that might be hard to find. D&R used to sell Macedonian leaf as a blending component, so presumably they used it in some of their blends but it's not clear which blends. Ramback is Izmir not Macedonian. You can dig through tobacco reviews but most blenders don't get very granular about their specific orientals. It usually gets lumped under "Turkish".
contact the makers and ask them. They're the only ones who can actually tell you. If they do or don't who knows. But it's the only real shot you got. Be nice thank them and tell them why you want to know.
I have rarely seen Macedonian singled out as a constituent tobacco in a blend, which makes me wonder if it is often switched out with various "Oriental" tobaccos. I've seen it listed in just a few blends out of scores, and I can't remember which.
I wouldn't trust an answer unless it came from someone like Mike McNiel, who deals with the individuals who import the tobacco from the farms. Otherwise who's to say you aren't getting Macedonia from Bulgaria and Virginia from Africa. Just look at the olive oil industry.
As bullshit is the lingua franca of advertising I tend to avoid matters of provenance as often as possible and stick to a simple "do I actually like this?"

A combination of three different Turkish varietals that includes yenidje, basma and samsun.
I have purchased both Smyrna and Izmiz blending tobaccos from P&C. Russ used to sell Macadonian blending tobacco but I don't see it on the website.I highly recomend the BS matches. I have tried both and they are very good. Orientals and Latakia are my two favorite tobaccos.

Well apparently presbytarian has them. I find the orientals in that blend do stand out as being unique compared to other blends.
Prilep is the most extensively grown oriental tobacco in North Macedonia. I have no idea who uses it.
Peter Stokkebye 313 is a non-aromatic blend of purely macedonian oriental varietals, and nothing else. It doesn't have any casings/flavorings/toppings and is very mild in flavor. I use it in several of my fancy cigarette blends. I get it @ P&C.

First time I heard about this website. Looked around a bit and found ... Luxury Bullseye Flake!!! But you have to get it in 1.5 pound boxes, and the shipping costs for that site are not great. Still, for those trying to find LBF, that's the place, I guess.Sutlif offers this-

I was wondering what made Presbyterian so mild and sweet. Thought it was simply the VAs used.
