The description sum's it up very well. After smoking for a while, I think the perfect cigarette blender. Compliments everything I tried. Really has a smoothing effect. The taste never overwhelms and always brings a rounder floral quality to the flavor.
If I was trying to craft a superb light cigarette, I would start with a decent portion of Prilep and a slight majority of Flue Cured like the Bright or Lemon.
On it's own, it does not burn very well like every other turkish type I have tried. Some classic Turkish flavor, complimented by slightly sweet fruity nuances, super nice. I can't detect any nicotine, low like other types. Smoked straight up, even non filtered, makes a fantastic ultra light cigarette... zero harshness without being robbed for flavor.
Anyone new to whole leaf, in my strong opion, should start with a pound of the Prilep and a pound of the Bright Flue Cured. Throw out any preconceived notions of Turkish tobacco. No matter your style, depending on the blend proportions, I can't see how one could not make something that will not impress. Afterwards, thank Don.
