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.
