True connoisseur tobacco.
Five years in the making, we have finally received our first shipment of Stacked Krumovgrad from Greece. This Somewhat stronger in flavor than most other Turkish/Oriental types. This tobacco is taken straight off the garlands from which it was cured, packed neatly in 30 lb. boxes and Air freighted directly to us.

Krumovgrad B2 is beautiful leaf to see and hold. Its color is a very light gold, with stems so thin that they just shred as easily as the rest of the leaf. It’s pouch aroma is highly floral, in an Turkish tobacco way. The acidity of its smoke is less noticeable than that of Basma. Smoked straight, there just is no tongue bite. So it blends easily with and Virginias, burleys or other typical components for either pipe or cigarette blending.
The nicotine is low. Burn is adequate–that is, the burn is typical of most Basma type Orientals.

Got a free sample of B2 Krumovgrad and instantly became a fan.
I roll my own cigarettes and prefer a bright Virginia lemon leaf. I have tried Basma blends and found it overpowering for my tastes. I rolled some fresh B2 with some slightly overdried lemon leaf and was pleasantly surprised. The B2 slowed down the burn of the lemon leaf and added the spice I was looking for when I tried Basma.
The scent in the air as I smoke is really nice.
That free sample worked. I will be buying more.

Excellent Oriental. As already mentioned, lower acidity than the Basma. A very delicate, well cured leaf. The flavor is outstanding but tough for me to describe with words other than somewhat sweet. Used in nearly all my blends.
