Purchased in bulk form, this is a reasonably flavorful blend of Orientals and Virginias that displays a rather distinct Oriental character. The flavor is slightly sweet and a bit exotic with ample, but not overblown richness. For me the Virginias are a bit too "raw" and this occasionally introduces some harsher qualities, especially toward the bottom of the bowl.
Overall, not a bad smoke, but I simply prefer #80. I would advise you to try both #80 and #84 together--your experience may be different than my own.
Similar Blends: Newminster Norway Pipe Cut #80.

..Quite a nice tobacco...It is an elegant pipe tobacco as well. While mostly Turkish...it is a blend of several types of Turkish as well as some very "soft" Virginia leaf and is well rounded, and I don't see this as one-dimensional at all... Far too many nuances for that.
Very even burn rate and keeping it a bit moist brings out more flavor. Frankly, I was looking for a Turkish tobacco to replace SG Turkish Blend which I have been told will no longer be in production. If that indeed happens, I will enjoy the Newminster as a reasonable replacement. Smoked in a group 4 or larger pipe and could be an all day tobacco.
...a pipe is to be savored...

This has some really nice flavors. Orientals lead the Virginias by a small margin. Surprisingly fuller and deeper than expected. Mild to medium in body and medium in flavor. The only criticism I can level is that the Virginias give a little bit of a lip tingle. No bite, just a tingle on the lips. I enjoyed smoking this. 3+
