[QUOTE="rothnh, post: 243693, member: 2663"] I know "orientals" is an accepted term for the tobaccos grown and processed in the Near East/Eastern Mediterranean, but I'm a bit annoyed because this moniker is a generalization -- much liking labeling the Basques as Spaniards. This can be frustrating because I have found that I enjoy certain orientals better than others and one or two that I don't like at all. Still, unless you're a commercial blender, finding "pure" leaf of a specific oriental can be daunting. I have been fortunate in finding a few and have experimented with small amounts to make my own blends. I've come to narrow it down and my preference is the Izmir leaf and, as I posted in another thread, I'm enjoying mixing the Izmir with various (mostly Virginia) tobaccos. Though I can see why, for proprietary reasons, blenders are rarely specific regarding the specific content of their creations, I find it rather unfortunate and a bit frustrating all too often.
