Bulk pipe tobacco prices from well-known manufacturers, both domestic and imported. Facts of raw tobacco:
Cavendish - Cavendish is not a natural tobacco type, but rather the result of a special way of processing Virginia and Burley tobaccos. Cavendish is made by either pressing the tobacco while adding heat and casing, or by heating the tobacco by steam processing. Both methods make the tobacco black, as well as, milder and sweeter. Burley - Burley is known for having very low sugar content, and its leaves often contain no natural sugar. Burley tobacco has a robust aroma, burns well in the pipe and carries a slight hint of cocoa in its taste; however, it does not have the sweet taste of Virginia tobaccos. Virginia - Throughout history, Virginia tobacco has been highly valued, and today it is the most widely used base tobacco in pipe tobacco mixtures. The populariy of Virginia is based on the high natural sugar and aromatic content in its leaves. These natural ingredients give Virginia tobacco its sweet and aromatic taste. Latakia - Latakia originally comes from Syria. After drying the leaves in the sun, they are exposed to smoke from the fire and thus absorb aromatics from the smoke. Latakia is a tobacco that is used mainly as a seasoning, because it is very strong, spicy and most pipe smokers find it unpleasant to smoke in a pure form. Perique - Perique is a strong tasting black tobacco fermented in its own juices, used exclusively for flavoring. Orientals - Sometimes known as Turkish, these greenish-brown tobaccos blend with other tobaccos. Maryland - This somewhat bland tobacco is generally used to improve a blend's buring quality. |
