Oriental recommendations?

[mooster]

The cool thing about the Grand Orientals line to me was the "education in a can" of finding out which oriental did what. Plus, it made tasting those flavors easier for some reason. I couldn't even taste the drama leaf in Ferndown Yellow and Brown until after I'd smoked Drama Reserve. Then it became the dominant flavor in the blend. The line was a great 'palate trainer'.

Well, that's another good recommendation for the Grand Orientals. Now, which would best to start with? I'm leaning towards Drama or Samsun... But then again, damn their Orient 996 and CPCC Samovar blends sure sound good!
