The Yenidje Oriental Tobacco Leaf (as well as less popular oriental tobaccos) are used in just about all "Turkish" cigarette blends.
The highly anticipated Yenidje (A.K.A. Yedidje or Basma) Oriental Tobacco Leaf is a wonderfully light and mellow addition to any tobacco leaf blend. Perhaps one of the lightest and smoothest leaves available, this TRUE Oriental leaf is usually very hard to come by, and has a unique mellow flavor is absolutley superb!
This leaf arrives with a very mild natural smell, and is packed well, keeping most of the leaves in great condition.
Light, Thin, Smooth, and Tiny, our Yenidje Oriental is a great mild leaf for smooth cigarette tobacco blends.
Also commonly known as Basma, try adding some of this leaf to your blend for a unique addition. Although usually ordered in small quantities to season other blends, this leaf is very popular and some of the smoothest smoking tobacco there is. Also great in a pipe!
"The dark fire cured remains a winner, but a little goes a long way in my pipe blends. One half leaf rolled with about two big bright leaves and then scissored makes a decent substitute for Three Nuns or Escudo.
My favorite so far is your Canadian flue cured shredded and blended with modest amounts of Latakia and Perique. Almost indistinguishable from the former Dunhill London Mixtures and way better than the current musty German or Danish versions now available.
A REAL treat is any of your bright leaf products tightly rolled with an UNrolled bit of Gawith and Hoggarth Black Irish Twist and then sliced. Makes a grand substitute for many tobaccos which have just gone away. "
