Title shortened.
I was already hooked on cigarettes in 1973 when Winchester little cigars came out. Winchesters were a quarter and Winstons were forty cents and my plan was to save money.
I found out when I opened my first pack of Winchesters they tasted like cigars. Nothing wrong with cigars, but I wanted cigarettes, which tasted differently.
Then a little later on, Middleton came out with a tipped cigar they claimed tasted like pipe tobacco. I tried them and their cigars did taste like Middleton’s Cherry Blend pipe tobacco, because that was the filler. Nothing wrong with Middleton’s Cherry Blend, but when I want a cigar I want it to taste like a cigar, not a pipe.
American Spirt makes cigarettes with no additives. All good hand rolled cigars and most higher end Va Pers and straight Virginias are straight up pipe tobacco.
The tobacco leaves must taste differently, especially in the case of cigars.
How dey do dat?
