Turkish Pipe Tobacco Products
Turkish tobacco is a small-leafed, highly aromatic type of leaf tobacco that is sun-cured. Turkish tobacco plants tend to have a greater abundance of smaller-sized leaves than other tobacco types. The main characteristic that sets Turkish pipe tobacco apart from other variations is its high sugar contents, creating a natural aroma of loquats (a robust and fruity-sweet aroma), hints of licorice and honey, a splash of fig and, in some cases, notes of cream or milk.
One delight that many pipe smokers observe with Turkish pipe tobacco is that you can obtain a very soft, clean, almost white ash when you finish, and it is known for being easy to keep lit and burning evenly in the bowl.
Turkish pipe tobacco is an excellent choice for a beginner pipe enthusiast, while it is more acidic than smoke or air-cured tobacco, it is also relatively mild and may contain fewer carcinogens than other varieties. Turkish pipe tobacco has also been an excellent choice as cigarette tobacco for RYO enthusiasts worldwide for its unique flavor and curation process.
