BLACK SEA SOKHOUM.
Sokhoum tobacco is grown on the mountain slopes in Georgia
beyond the far Eastern shore of the Black Sea. It is
considered by many to be among the finest Oriental
tobaccos grown. Sokhoum is a strain of Samsun seed and the
leaves have the appearance of Samsun and share a very
similar aroma, but the flavor has a quality that is almost
cigar-like, rich and deep and mellow. This is the
Easternmost of the classic Orientals. Fewer than 400 miles
south of Sokhoum is Iraq. |

CLASSIC SAMSUN
RESERVE. Samsun grows in the Black Sea region of
Eastern Turkey. We have secured the finest Samsun
Maden-Canek leaves. They are small, thin and elastic with
a mellow, pleasant, distinctive aroma. Their sweet taste
is like the sweetness in a nut meat or sunflower seed.
They come from the hinterland of Samsun, mainly to the
West of the Yesih Irmak River delta where the climate is
very similar to the best Macedonian and Thracian growing
areas. Samsun and all classic Oriental leaves are picked
one-by-one as they ripen, like flue-cured Virginias. If
picked too soon so that the sap remains in the leaf during
air and sun drying, the sugars will evaporate with the
sap. If allowed to ripen too much on the plant, the leaf
will be dry and shatter. Tobacco farmers of the classic
Samsun growing areas have elevated these harvesting and
curing processes to high art. Taste what comes of 350
years of experience. |

KATERINI CLASSIC.
Katerini is a very important tobacco producing area
southwest of Thessalonika on mountain slopes of mainland
Greece (Western Macedonia). The small, heart-shaped leaf
that takes the area's name and makes it legendary is grown
from Samsun seed. Katerinileaf is light golden in color,
delicate, elastic, porous and robust. It has a more subtle
aroma than Samsun but notice its especially sweet, mild
curry-like flavor.

Yenidje Supreme.
Oriental tobacco cultivation began in the 1600s around
the villages of Yenidje and Kirdzhali after Venetian and
Genoese traders introduced tobacco smoking to the area in
the 1500s. The classic Basma seed introduced there over
300 years ago is believed by some to derive from an
ancient Venezuelan variety of Nicotiana Tabacum named
Barinas. The very finest Xanthi still comes from the
original Yenidje (Genesaia) area of Western Thrace just
north of the modern town of Xanthi. It is the
Xanthi-Yaka-Basma and the Xanthi-Djebel-Basma that
comprise the legendary Yenidje leaf which is thin,
full-bodied, flexible, with fine veins. Full of oils, the
best leaves are quite small, yellow to brown in color,
with a pleasant, delicate aroma and sweet, mild, fresh
flavor. Discover why this particular classic Xanthi (the
Yenidje of old) with its refreshing sweetness is known as
“The Queen of Tobaccos.” |

YENICE AGONYA.
Agonya is the famous Turkish tobacco from the Sea of
Marmara district of Yenice (pronounced Yenidje in Turkish)
which lies to the southeast of Canakhale. This is the
anciently famous area of Troy or Illium south of the
Hellespont. The Hamdibey or Agonya district plants the
Agonya seed, a Kabakulak variety of Xanthi origin (that
first Yenidje of legend). Agonya leaves are wide,
fine-textured and oval with bare stems. The taste is
mellow, the fragrance subtle. When the Greeks followed
Helen to Troy, they were after booty, but they were a few
centuries too early to share this elegant treasure. How
might a round of calming, agreeable bowls of Yenice Agonya
have changed history? |

Arcadia: It was
Dr. Watson's favorite tobacco. Holmes identified it by its
characteristic white, fluffy ash. Sir James Barrie lauded
it to the point of immortalization in "My Lady Nicotine."
Years later, it was widely circulated that the Arcadia
Mixture was really Craven Mixture developed by the third
Earl of Craven and produced the Arcadia Works of Carreras,
Ltd., in London.
McClelland's now purchases the leaf while keeping in mind
the buying patterns of the British tobacco companies
during the period when Dr. Watson and Mr. Holmes would
have been smoking.
It is a wonderful blend -- smooth, rich, subtle. |

The name Frog Morton comes to us
from the works of JRR Tolkein Frogmorton: A village in the
Eastfarthing of the Shire. It stood on the East Road,
between the Three-farthing Stone (fourteen miles to the
west) and the Brandywine Bridge (twenty-two miles to the
east). Immediately to the north of the village, the stream
known as the Water broke into two, creating a wide watery
region - this feature seems to have given Frogmorton its
name, which means 'frog marsh'. Until the War of the Ring,
the village seems to have been most notable for its inn,
the Floating Log. During the brief time when Saruman took
over the Shire, though, it became the home of the First
Eastfarthing Troop of Shirriffs, and it was here that the
returning Ring-bearers were 'arrested' on their journey
back to Hobbiton. |
