Just got my first order of different samples and lit a bowl of Samsun Turkish Ortiental. I don't think I will ever be able to buy pre-blended tobacco again, or anything that isn't whole leaf. The freshness is incredible, the taste is at the same time crisp and subtle. You can tell you are smoking an actual plant. And somehow, less nicotine is lost in the process. The aroma for this specific blend is beautiful. Mellow, but deep, and full of understated spices. And it has incredible character. By far the nicest smoke I have ever had.
