After doing some research I’m trying to figure out this question without confusing you along with myself, so here it goes... (I’m really not bitching either)
Altadis U.S.A has several “Black Cavendish” pipe tobaccos listed and I’m sure there is more...
~Super Value Tobacco Pouches: “Black”
~Midnight Smoke - An all Black Cavendish consisting of 100% fire-cured tobaccos steam sweated for mildness and smoothness.
Now, I have in my possession “Backwoods” pipe tobacco and Smoker Friendly “Classic Black” (Black Cavendish), both of these are also produced also by Altadis U.S.A.
After smoking both, each in a different pipe, they taste the same.
The “Backwoods” is a little more “ruff” cut, but the flavor/aroma is the same as the “Classic”.
So, my question is, how many “types/blends” of tobaccos are being sold under different names and packaging but “we” think we are getting something different each time?
others have a very distinct and unique smell and flavor. I'm hearing and reading a lot of terms that tell me there must be an almost infinate number of combinations of tobaccos and processing methods. Also geographic locations and altitudes must play some part as well. Here are some of those terms: aged, matured, ripe, stoved, fired, ribbon, flake, shag, plug, pressed, broken, Louisiana, Syrian, Turkey, cake, darkened, sweetened, natural, red, orange, black, casing, rum, scotch, vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, pecan, cocoa, maple, caramel, honey, fruity, Balkan, cigar leaf, navy, rubbed, ready-rubbed, hand-rubbed, wide cut, broad cut, Yenidje, cask mellowed, Acadeian, American, Cyprian, Kentuckian,
