Quick question for you all. I'm looking at tr.com and see that both the sweet maple twist and rum twist state they are both the same base tobacco as Black and Brown Irish X. But if you look at the leaf for each, Maple says it's VA and Rum says Burley/Kentucky. Which is it?
Gawith, Hoggarth Twists

The stuff on the header for each tobacco was put in by whomever was the first to review it. I would take those things with a grain of salt. But, IMHO, Rum, Maple, and Coconut Twist are not nearly as strong as black and brown Irish X. They may be made up of the same tobaccos, which are burleys and Dark African virginias, but I'm not sure if I can detect any Kentucky. It could be that someone is misconstruing Dark Fired Malawi for Dark Fired Kentucky. But DFK is a weakling in comparison to Malawi.
I would put Coconut Twist on about par with Nightcap. It is higher in nicotine that most people are going to be accustomed to, but there is definitely higher level tobaccos out there.
