Izmir is my favorite tobacco type.. Hands down sunset harbor is one of my all time favorites

This was a great installment. Thank you for continuing this series. I always come away with a new understanding and appreciation of tobacco and tobacco blending.

Jeremy I enjoy your vides and the chat about pressing tobaccos we had at the West Coast Pipe Show. Please consider doing a video reviewing the pressing changes C & D has made to your cake blends and the modifications you are making to bring the cakes backs to the more densely packed cakes you had a few years ago. Thanks 🍭🐓👶

Another interesting video, very informative too. There are alot of turkish/oriental varities and i wish they all get explained but the rare stock and limited supplies render that almost impossible. Fun fact, basma means a smile. Best regards Al janabi

This series on tobacco, is very informational & educational! THANKS FOR SHARING!

Hey Jeremy, I always enjoy your videos. They help get a better insight into making pipe smoking more enjoyable. Thanks for taking time to teach us new things.

Love this series

Thank you for sharing the knowledge.

Thank you for the informative and professionally presented reviews and descriptions. Cheers!

As an aspiring home blender, this series is amazing and very informative

I once got some basma-type oriental leaf from a german tobacco leaf vendor and it smelled and tasted wonderful, very light so you need something stronger to blend with it to use for cigarettes, I used another oriental variety (long dark brown leaves) I got from another vendor that delivered that "throat hit" like strong virginia leaf (which is very hard to get besides virginia orange). But only this basma type leaf had this very aromatic smell that could stand on it's own, thousand times better flavour than the usual perfumy or hay like american blend and virginia cigarettes. I got a new mix of oriental varieties, some look very high quality, like thin leather and others like silk, they smoke and taste smooth but they don't have this special flavour the basma type stuff had.

Very informative. Thank you!

A great explanation of Oriental tobacco's

Love oriental forward blends. Beautifully interesting tobaccos.

I love your Oriental Blending mixture, both alone and blended in my own mixtures. Great review too, it inspired me to create some more experimental blends. 😁👍

really learning something here - great stuff!

Cool video!

C&D head blender's cap says it all.

That hat!!! I think I need it in my life

Jeremy what C&D blends would you recommend that show off the oriental tobaccos?

So are the Basma and Izmir pressed into a brick and aged a bit before being tumbled out into broken flakes? I always thought that the bulk Oriental C & D used looked like it had been pressed. Also, I wonder if the old Egyptian cigarettes that were popular before the first World War had any Latakia in them. I know they were primarily Turkish style cigarettes of the period, just made outside the Ottoman tobacco monopoly. They were made by Greeks usually that had left the restrictive Ottoman Empire. It was and still is these Greeks that were the genius blenders of Oriental tobaccos and the people responsible for Latakia, then and now. Cypress is half Greek half Turkish island. When Syrian Latakia was banned they just picked up and moved a few miles off the coast to the island of Cypress

Awesome, I really want to try!! What are the pipes you are using??

I am chasing that basma tobacco note. What pipe tobaccos do you recommend that contain or profile basma?

Great video! Thank you. Can you please tell us about that last picture in the video? I've been looking for a plug cutter for the jsck knife plug, that stuff is great I just need a better way to cut it.

Thanks for the great info! How do I get a hat like that? Keep doing your thing Mr. Reeves! E.T.A. N.M

Great video and I love your shirt! Where dis you get it???

I am growing some Turkish Samsung I think it is, the plant and fruit look exactly like Cape Goosberry, I wonder if I have planted the wrong seeds.

What about smyrna? Can you explain a bit about that? A local tobacconist has a blend called smyrna blend which I really enjoy.

Enjoyed the video. Have you given any thought to tinning up the Oriental blend on its own?

I really enjoyed the Sun Bear. Is there something you offer that would be similar? Thanks.

Hello, what Orientals are in Red stag... I do content on KZfaq in the ytpc, I want to be more accurate on my review

I wonder about the Old ones series leaf. Is it oriental or cigar?

Where can we get the pipes he is using ?

Jeremy had less coffee in this video ha

Don't you burn your fingers holding the clay pipe that way? :-)

besuki tobacco anyone?

Taste like old socks and shmorgus boards 😉

Everything is better than Latakia😂. Latakia tastes and smells like perfume
