| I absolutely love this condiment leaf. When added to lighter but flavorful Latakia blends such as Rattray's Black Mallory, it really beefs up the strength without interfering with the flavor. I also enjoy mixing this with some straight Virgnia tobacco that otherwise is too light for me.
If I am caught without any of this around, it's only because I'm dead.

| A great turkish tobacco to add that "barnyard" nuance to an existing or created blend. Leaves a very pleasant "minty" flavor on the palate.

| This is for sure a nice blender tobacco. But it may be very interesting and satisfying for those who enjoy pure Turkish.
It has all the best parts of an oriental tobacco: grassy-sweet, cigarette like taste. Nice kick of nicotine. Slow burning. Enjoyable spicy flavor. However it is one dimensional and may become boring if you smoke it daily.

| I spent my life watching my Dad buy various razors in search of the "perfect shave". Since returning to pipes of late, I feel like I'm searching for the "perfect smoke". Wanting to sample everything and start making blends for education and the adventure of experimentation, I ordered 8 ounces of this blend. I tried it with an old, small bowl Claridge I like. It required a couple of relights and it seemed just a bit dry to me, but it was really enjoyable. I liked what I call a rich taste - not flavored or sugary - just solid richness. Of course, I started thinking of potential blends. This will make a great blender and by itself it's no slouch either. I'd call it solid, rich, and worth having.

| Bulk: Standard medium ribbon cut. Mostly medium brown, some tan, with what appears to be a small amount of olive. Fragrant and herbal but with a natural or grainy undertone. Not sticky like McClelland's Blending Oriental. At a good moisture level, towards dry.
Burning: Took a couple of relights
Taste & Aroma: Has that very musty, grassy herbal tone, like green tea, that I have been trying to identify in C&D's Good Morning.
Overall: BTR has none of the sweet carmel fragrance and sandalwood aroma of McClelland's BO. BTR has a "green" complexion to the aroma. Generally, orientals are sun cured. 4Noggins and Smokingpipes.coms provide a Tin Description, in their Blending and Bulk sections, respectively. I still want know the distinction between Turkish and Oriental.

| This is essentially a blending tobacco. It is too one dimensional smoked alone. It does have a very interesting taste to it, and burns very well. It will burn too fast by its self, but even just adding latakia 50/50 makes a tremendous smoke. I have made many blends using this tobacco and love it. The only thing that I try to keep in mind is to use sparingly it is a condiment like Perique.

| At first light only tasted smoke. It took a few matches to get going. However, very pleasantly surprised as it developed into a full smoke with a good floral bouquet and a buttery non biting taste on the pallet. Clean with no dottle. Turkish lovers will appreciate this. It is a good blending tobacco.

| A pure Turkish Ribbon-cut. A great blender, a monochromatic smoke by itself. If you are into plain Turkish tobacco you might love this. Burns fast due to the fine cut but no bad traits at all.
