No. 2045 Oriental Mixture

No. 2045 Oriental Mixture appears in McClelland's bulk catalog as the reduced-Latakia counterpart to the No. 2040 Cyprian mixture. Per the maker's description, within a mild, sweet structure, light-colored Orientals and Carolina leaf stand out, with Latakia used only in a supporting tone. This setup makes the blend more an Oriental-forward mixture than an English one.

In the smoke, the Oriental's tangy, herbal, and spicy tones are pronounced; the Latakia's smoke draws a frame in the background. Body is medium and nicotine is moderate. Aimed at smokers who want Latakia in measured amounts and who want to hear the Oriental leaf's own character. Production ended when McClelland ceased operations in 2018.
