🌿 Smoking Experience
Flavor: Starts with Virginia’s natural sweetness, layered with spicy, floral, and incense-like qualities from Turkish leaf.
Body: Smooth and medium-bodied, richer than Gold but lighter than Dark.
Room Note: Aromatic and fragrant, with a distinctive Oriental character.
Best For: Smokers who enjoy complex, aromatic blends and want something more exotic than standard Virginia or Burley mixes.
⚠️ Considerations
Strength: Balanced, but the Turkish leaf adds a unique aromatic twist that may be unfamiliar to those used to straightforward blends.
Availability: Less common than Gold, Medium, or Dark, so bulk bags may be harder to source.
Preparation: Fine cut makes rolling easy, though the Turkish character may be an acquired taste.
