The Izmir Turkish Oriental Tobacco Leaf (as well as more popular oriental tobaccos) are used in just about all "Turkish" cigarette blends.
To convert these tobacco leaves into RYO, MYO, or pipe tobacco, check out our tobacco leaf shredders!
If you are looking for a more mild Virginia Flue Cured to blend, try our "Canadian Virginia Flue Cured Tobacco Leaf".
This leaf arrives with a mild, unique fragrance, and packs some serious Turkish flavor!
These small, thin, and light leaves make our Izmir Oriental is a great leaf for smooth cigarette tobacco blends.
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. "

I received my order of Izmir Turkish Oriental tobacco today in the mail, and I have to tell you, I'm absolutely satisfied. Originally hailing from the Chicago area and now living here (Georgia) in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, I've had the experience of picking cotton along a Tennessee back road, found some peyote once in Laredo, Texas (but only looked at it), have never held, smelled, or smoked tobacco in leaf form like this. What a great new experience! Thanks.
