Torben Dansk Orient Spezialitat
(2.29)
A mixture of hand-picked, first-class Basma leaf from Izmir (Smyrna under the Greek flag), mildly flowery with the finest, aromatic spice.
Notes: This is one specific varietal, called "Basma", grown in Izmir (Turkey). The city was formerly known as "Smyrna" when the Greek ruled the region, that's why people keep referring to it as both "Smyrna" and "Basma", yet it is the same varietal!

J'ai ramené un de ses pochons d'Espagne. Dur de trouver du vrai tabac en France de nos jours. J'étais particulièrement à la recherche de pur. Orient, Latakia, Virginia. Je suis étonné de l'odeur de ce tabac. À la première ouverture, une grande odeur de champ sec. Encadré par une douce odeur de fermentation. Le tabac est humide, je décide de le goûter mais à mon goût le tabac étais trop flou, compact. Je le laisse un peu séché et je le remet en pot. Ensuite l'odeur est devenue sublime, à croire que je me trouvais dans un champs de tabac des vieille année. On sent le travail, tabac de variété ancienne, récolté main. Pour relever un tabac, une pincé émietté surffi. Pour un bon moment , d'harmonie avec cette épaisse fumé, pur il sera fort et bon.

I distinguish no less than four different hues in the tobacco, so I suspect that this tobacco is actually a mixture of different types of oriental tobacco. the smell is mostly from Izmir. Smoked alone, it has the typical tanginess, earthiness, spice and acridity of oriental tobacco. It can be smoked alone, but it behaves very well mixed with other varieties such as Latakia, Virginia or Burley.

La lata que me tocó me parece que ya tenÃa unos años de envasado. Para mà gusto estaba un poco seco. Viene en una cinta larga y gruesa con algunos pedazos de flake roto. Es una mezcla de basma y izmir que muchos utilizarÃan para sazonar otros tabacos, yo la encuentro magnÃfica para fumarla tal cual sale de la lata porque confieso que los orientales me encantan. Del 1 al 10 yo le darÃa un 7, tal vez un 8.
