The Oriental Mixture has been part of Robert McConnell’s range since the beginning of the 19th century, making it one of the company’s oldest products. It consists mostly of Cypriot, Turkish and Eastern Mediterranean bright tobaccos, which are blended together with bright leaf from Carolina and Red Old Belt from Virginia over a whole week. Carolina Black Cavendish is then added, resulting in a balanced, medium strength blend that will delight friends of expressive pipe tobacco in particular.
