Cornell & Diehl Bulk HEBRAICA SERIES - Boker Or (Morning Light)

Boker Or is a loose, square cut blend of tobacco -- perhaps you would call it a very short cut ribbon. It is basically a gently sweet and plummy Vaper with a brilliantly conceived and executed blend of musty Izmir (or Smyrna ?) and velvety black cavendish in the background. Put it one small step to the sweet side of the line dividing sweet from savory -- though the latter taste component is definitely detectable. It has great overall balance: good body, or depth of character; rich flavor, without fatiguing the palate; and moderate strength, being satisfying but not overly robust. In brief, the body, flavor(s) and strength work together closely. This makes for a very smooth and tasty smoke, with good volume and mouth feel. The Oriental is used with restraint, working its magic to perfection, and producing an enduring, pleasantly sweet/musty finish. I enjoy smoking this in a larger diameter bowl to let the blend sing at full volume. No worries about burn, bite, gurgle or dottle.
