Tabac Turc Turk Pipo Tutunu (Turkish Pipe Tobacco)
(3.40)
Turkish Pipe Tobacco is a blend of selected Turkish tobaccos from Yayladag, Bitlis, Izmir and Ad1yaman. The main characteristics of these leaves is their high sugar contents. Sun cured and flavored with natural aromas of locust fruit, licorice honey, fig essence, and milk. Packed in 50 gram pouches as broken flakes.
Notes: This pipe tobacco has been produced by Turkish State Monopolies at the beginning of the 1930s till the beginning of the new millenium. A while ago a new company, Tabac Turc has bought the rights of producing this tobacco in their new manufactory. Tabac Turc has called back the masters of production and began remanufacturing this very old product respecting the traditional methods.

Earthy flavour that reminded me right away of Villager cigars, hell, you can even call it "dung" touch and not go very wrong. Now for me this is in no way a critique, but a suggestion you're smoking something very natural, real, authentic. The pack itself though smells fruity.
Very wet out of the pack. Hard to keep lit and makes draw somewhat harder as well. However, doesn't burn hot, burns evenly to pleasant grey ash.
High sugar content (like Adiyaman tobaccos if this tells you something), very mild bite that goes away quickly. Strong room note that you would not want other people to smell quite likely.
I did not sense flavouring actually, perhaps this is what makes up the 'mother nature' note, but in no way does it feel like an aromatic. Now I have a bit of a cold, so my nose is not in the best shape. I will update the review when feeling better if the picture changes. *update. Upon fixing my nose and letting it sit for some time, I got the figs notes and something honeyish-sugarish. Still not an aromatic though, too natural and tobaccoish.
Suitable for daily smoke, but I will likely blend it with something drier to compensate for excessive humidity. Will definitely grab another pack should I run into a shop with it. Very original, very true, very natural without 'cigarette' tobacco notes.

A different experience. Same things about yaylada? go for this tobacco too. If i have to decide between yaylada? and türk pipo tütünü, i would prefer yaylada?.

FOR THOSE WHO WAKE UP AT NIGHT CAUSE OF THE LACK OF NICOTINE, THIS IS YOUR MEDICINE, JUST ONE BOWL BEFORE YOU GO TO SLEEP
I read about this tobacco at tobaccoreviews and did not believe my eyes. Turkish pipe tobacco. We've gone mad. I finally managed to get hold of 2 pouches. Tobaccos from Yayladag, Bitlis, Izmir. First thing I noticed was the packaging. Very rough around the edges. The tobacco is wrapped in a plastic bag, placed inside the pouch but noticeably in broken flake. It was matured enough and it even had crystals forming on it. In spite of the rough packaging, the tobacco remained fresh even if I had it in my cellar for about a year. Reviews describe a locust* flavor. I am not familiar with this scent. For me it most certainly has a fig and honey aroma. It is very very heavy. It is smoked dry, until the end of the bowl, leaving just white ashes. It causes no tongue bite and it has a very sweet taste forming by the oriental tobacco.
