Which oriental varieties would you all suggest for American styled cigarette blends? I'm thinking Samsun, Ismir, Xanthi. Those all seem like the smaller leafed varieties. They seem the most common results in internet searches and therefore might be most commonly used by the large American tobacco companies. Any ideas out there on this?

Welcome to the forum.

In many old documents from Big Tobacco, Samsun is listed as the primary Oriental used in cigarette manufacture. Depending on the crop years, Ismir and Xanthi are more aromatic than Samsun. Xanthi is lighter in flavor than Ismir. Just about any Oriental will work well for cigarette blending, and the choice would depend on your tastes.
