As far as a blending oriental goes, this one is outstanding. The greek and turkish varitiels used are high quality.

Tin note of very woody, musty herbal, and dirt. The ribbon tobacco is composed of Leafs colored in brown with a little dark and light brown mixed in. Tobacco is damp, but no drying needed. Burns slow with many relights. The strength is mild and nic is nope. No flavoring detected. Taste is mild to medium and consistent, with notes of musty dry vegetation, wood, rich earth, sweet spices, mildly spicy, incense, mild dried tart fruit, a creamy buttery sweet background note, and a mild peppery retro. Room note is pleasant, and aftertaste is great.

This makes everything better when added to Straight Virginia or Burley blends. A one dimensional richness is added to every blend it touches! Rather bland by itself, but excellent as a condiment! 4 f 4 stars!

I thought that I should write a critique on the properties of this blending tobacco. As those of you know, who smoke a lot of english blends, orientals are often the backbone of their construction. Orientals lend heaps of texture and complexity to heavily dosed latakia blends. This tobacco has an uncanny ability to power through, yet complament, the smokey essence of latakia and perique. I love the texture of orientals and prefer them to Virginas in most of the "English" blends that I smoke. With this particular tobacco, McClelland has produced an easily blendable tobacco that is great for tweeking and existing blend, or constructing one from scratch. The beefy, twangy overtones of this oriental ooze from the tin apon opening. I think that it is very important for smokers to know and understand the properties of all the tobacco's that make up their favorite blends. The first time that I tried 965 and nightcap, I was aching to know what each tobacco's role was in the blend that I was smoking. Although not mind blowing while smoke solo, this tobacco can be used to doctor up a favorite blend, or construct one from ther ground up. McClelland has provided yet another quality product for experimentation.

Incomprehensible blend of poor quality orientals. May improve some flat VA.
