Whether you're interested in blending your own pipe tobacco or just want to better understand some of your life-long favorite mixtures, it's important to know what each component brings to the table and how it interacts with the other leaves in your blend. Many of you likely already know the differences in flavor between Burley and Latakia, but what about the nuances between bright and red Virginias? How about Perique and dark-fired Kentucky? We've put together a quick guide to help you out.
