An excellent introduction to Orientals

I'm a new pipe smoker. I found this to be an excellent introduction to an oriental blend. I highly recommend this if you're looking to try a blend with oriental components.
Mild yet complex

Not much of a smell, but the taste is nice. Needs to be sipped slowly otherwise it'll burn hot and bitter.
Outstanding...

Bag note is floral, sweet, pleasant. Slightly dry and lit easily. The Samsun has a distinctively different flavor to the Izmir and paired with a mild Virginia it delivers a great flavor. This burns fast. Other reviewers have suggested to sip this slowly, I concur.
Room note is floral and very ap
pealing, as my neighbor commented on it as I was smoking this on the porch. Great on its own and will be a great blending component.
Straightforward tobacco blend. This is a winner.

Wonderful Tobacco

I really enjoyed this! Had a bowl of this with a cup of coffee. Very mild with some spiciness. Room note nice, no complaints. Burned to bottom of bowl leaving a nice white ash. Will order more!
Simple but good

Update....I stand by my previous review but after letting this age for about 6 months to a year the flavor has really matured well. It is deeper and fuller. The spice is still there from the Orientals but the virginia sweetness has come out. I was primarily blending with this when it was fresh but after the age I now really enjoy this by itself and has bumped this up to a 4-4.5 stars.

If you smoke bold or heavy blends this may seems a little thin and flat but if you are an oriental fan you will like this. Just enough virginia to give it a touch of sweetness but not enough to smooth out or hide the oriental. Plenty of fragrant spice and sharpness. A little sour but mostly spicy and salty. If you have had blends with orientals and liked them this is a great way to try them by themselves and really see exactly what they add to a blend. This would also be a great blending component for creating your own blends or a great roll your own tobacco. If it is smoked to fast it gets hot and tastes ashy so pack tight and smoke slow.

Take it easy and enjoy the complex and exotic flavors this blend provides with every bowl. This is my first experience with the Samsun leaf to my knowledge and it is quite nice. Id recommend this to any smoker of virginia, or english blends.
Not for fast smokers

Time is of the essence with this one. It burns very quickly and must be controlled with a delicate draw. If not, it will scald the tongue or lips. Thus, due to is rate of burn, the nic-hit can be a surprise but not strong. Buttery, slightly sweet, lightly spicy, malty toward the bottom of the bowl, it's surprisingly and delicately complex. Disregard the negative write-ups on TobaccoReviews.com—the reviews here are true to the nature of the blend....Read More
Sip Slowly

This is a gentle, fragrant mixture that I recommend smoking slowly to get the most pleasure from. It has a wonderful nuttiness but can become harsh if overheated. This would be an excellent blending component for adding to other tobaccos.
Good smoke!

This is the best turkish blend (and I've tried a few over the years) Ive smoked. Barring only some PURE turkish I used to get (alas no longer available) from Turkey. This smoke is smooth, not overpowering or strong, and no "back-bite" or bad taste left in mouth. I will order this again, by the pound+. It is a well-balanced blend of turk and virginia....Read More
Slow smoke

Product: Peter Stokkebye PS84 Turkish Blend Bulk
This is made to smoke slow. Out of the bag the shag cut was ready to pack and fire up. Bag note is nutty and slightly spicy. Once lit the flavours are nutty and musty with some light oriental spice. Very nice on its own and makes a good blender. This must be smoked slowly to appreciate the delicate flavours. If smoked fast you are sure to get bit and it will taste unpleasant. Not an all day smoke but one you can come back to or start your day with....Read More
