Ankara?

Got my order from MBV a while back and finally started using them. Over the weekend I started with the Ankara, seemed like the lightest in color. Flavor to me was a bit odd. Now my own fault I'm sure forgetting to shake it before the pour made it not the way it should have been. My question is what kind of tobacco is this representative of?

When I think of a Turkish tobacco of course I snap to Camel's Turkish blends and those used to be my favorite brand. But this seems different with kind of a spice note to it. I had a friend try some and was told it tastes a lot like Shisha - I'm assuming unflavored. By the end of my tank though it was pretty weak.

Also, if anyone has experience with this MBV flavor any input is appreciated as well.

Of course but that is a blend with American tobacco. Ankara, in real tobacco is sweet, smoky and quite strong - makes most who smoke Camel Straights cough the first few hits.) You know that sweet, almost medicinal, slightly smoky smell a fresh pack of Camels has? Well, that is Ankara, and in juice, you remove the American flavors and all you have is that left.

I don't care for it as a stand alone, but mixed in with some NETs or even a good American tobacco flavor, it works nicely.
