McConnell: Oriental 50g Pipe Tobacco
Product Number: 003-042-0014
One of McConnell's original blends dating back to 1848, Oriental mixture comprises — as expected — predominantly Oriental varietals from Turkey, Macedonia, and the Levant, as well as Cypriot Latakia. It also includes Bright Virginias and a touch of Black Cavendish for added body. It's an ideal Balkan blend — presented in an easy-to-pack ribbon cut.

Could have been perfect
July 23, 2024
Product: McConnell Oriental 50g
disappointing. To have tried this stuff before everyone started using synthetic chemicals to "enhance" their blends... It must have been something quite special. Also, glycol and glycerine make everything heavier, which means the 50g tin really has less than 50g of tobacco in it. Oh, you're getting a full 50g of "product" in the tin, but a significant percentage of that weight is not tobacco. I can only imagine how good it must have been, long ago, before the synthetic revolution....Read More

One of my favorite blends, absolutely in love with this stuff. If you’d like Orientals it is a must try. Whenever it’s available whatever you do, don’t buy it. Mostly so I can buy more of it. But seriously it’s absolutely fantastic.

My go-to

This is by far my favorite tobacco. The tin note is entoxicatingly rich and the flavor when lit is every bit as good, from first puff to last.

otes of smoky wood, earth, mildly sweet ripe fruit, floral and a little spicy. Oriental/Turkish is driving with Virginias riding shotgun. Cavendish and Latakia are in riding back. Room note is pleasant to tolerable and after taste is good....Read More

d it all together very well. The orientals and Latakia linger on in the aftertaste but in a subtle, pleasing manner. A real find and a real keeper. And it's far more available that Germain Special Latakia Flake!...Read More

Candied English
December 05, 2019
By:
James Marc R.
Product: McConnell Oriental 50g
may consider it a Balkan due to the ever so slightly forward nature of the sun cured, the quantity of Virginia and latakia places it squarely in the English category. The sugary Black Cavendish sweetens and softens the mixture of musty orientals, bready/yeasty virginia and smoky latakia. The latakia never screams for attention in this mixture. Nicely balanced, mild flavor, mild body, low nicotine and sort of a candied English, if you will....Read More

Good stuff!

I can't detect Latakia in this mixture so I would call it a Balkan rather than an English blend. If you like English blends but don't want a Lat bomb this might be just the stuff for you. It can be harsh if it isn't smoked very slowly but it is complex and rich if smoked properly.
