Oriental Silk

arns on our farm. What I don’t smell and expected was a little of that tang I associate with my favorite virginias , so I’m guessing this is from the lower part of the stalk, but, I could be wrong.
Sampled in a conditioned MM Missouri Pride.
This one is good.
It’s bready and spicy , but not too wild.
Virgina + Perique = Good
Virginia + Perique + Orientals = Gooder
It’s bone simple , straightforward and honest. As good as it is , I’d really like to have it as a flake. The orientals shift the softness away if you push it - so don’t - this simple smooth blend deserves to be savored , not rushed.
The smoke is cottony and thin.
To me this would be / is a great “assent minded “ blend - pack, and go do some shit in the yard. Fill a bowl, and start fishing.
I bet it’s killer with a tall glass of sweet tea.
Even simple as it is, for me, I’m deeming this one “cellar worthy”.
My rating : 5- this is great - I’m getting a pound minimum next pay day.
This is the 14th C&D bulk blend I have reviewed, as I work my way through thier 101 blend catalog. Using Smoking Pipes as of April 3, 2025, I am smoking them from the lowest rated to the highest....Read More

cult to pin down. While it's a very smooth smoke for me that requires few relights it is not my overall favorite. I could absolutely see this being very popular for a large number of people though....Read More

the entirety of the bowl. The smoke is flavorful and light on the draw. No young bite at all, even when I got a little overzealous with it. Sit back, light up and enjoy the variety of flavors you will get....Read More

with this blend.
I think I have come to the conclusion that I’m a big fan of burleys.
If you like spicy peppery tobacco but don’t like burley, this may be more your speed....Read More

I am in love with this blend. Sweet Virginia and earthy orientals are very forward with a chime in of plum and pepper from the perique. It burns cool for Virginia and I do smoke it all day.
Tasty and Bitey

n. It really hits me in the front and middle of my tongue and distracts from the flavors I'm hoping to experience. The Orientals and Virginias battle for the top note like a pair of kittens with full tummies. Its hard to find that sweet nutty bag note but it's present ever so subtly. The citrusy and sweet hay notes from the virgina sometimes build with, but other times cross cancel, the sour and herbal floral notes of the Orientals. Hard blend to nail down....Read More
Too much work

There is so much spice in this, it takes to much work on the draw to keep it from being overwhelming. Wonderful flavors can be achieved, but I'm not patient enough for it just now.

This tobacco blend seemed to me not expressive. About this tobacco, I can say that it is not any (not bad, but not good either). I don't think I will return to him.
