🔎 Key Attributes

🌿 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.
