My o my what fun you guys have had with all this blending, It makes me want to go out and buy a pipe and start blending some myself. It all looks top quality and even better as it smokes well.
I hope some of you took some seed from the Cyprus plants as my seed supply is nearly exhausted !!

Seed for Cyprus Oriental mw and Cyprus Latakia mw will be available in the FTT seed bank for 2014.

I guess I missed it. 2015 Is coming up I thought.
I will be adding Cyprus Orienta mw seed and Cyprus Latakia mw seed, grown during the 2014 season, to the FTT seed bank.

Yes, I smoked it straight. It was mellow and fresh but not aromatic as unmanufactured (non Perique) Oriental tobaccos. It was actually not a nice smoke. I made that Perique batch out of poorly cured mostly lower leaves so that may an explanation but I believe Perique process itself is also responsible for aroma/flavor loss in Oriental tobaccos. I have another batch of Oriental Perique that I've started a month ago, out of mostly mid-stalk leaves. When it's done I'll let you know out here.
