I was always wondering if blenders even mention all ingridients contained?
I have smoked a few blends that certainly tasted like burley was in it, even thought the label suggested it was a straight Virginia. I am not going to split hairs with a company that claims that there is no burley in the blend; however, if there isn't any burley in the blend, then IMO the tobacconist just sucks at working with straight Virginias. And, I avoid the Virginias by that company.

I'm not sure why a company would hide something like that. It would seem to be lose/lose to claim to be a pure VA, leaving the smokers to think they just pick horrible tobaccos to use or screw them up.

Cosmic you wouldnt be talking about that Small Batch Blender in South Carolina would you?
Sunday Picinic Heard.

Nah, I was just talking hypothetically. ::

Some people can get good and drunk told that a non-alcoholic beverage is strong drink. The placebo effect works. And saves money!

As to the "power of suggestion," I have a huge jasmine vine growing over my tractor shed that I've enjoyed the aroma of for years. I would grab a handful every time I went out to use the tractor. But, a new neighbor brought me a bag of jasmine blooms earlier this Spring from his own Asian jasmine vine, which is a unique variety according to him. Then it came up in conversation, one of Mrs Cosmic's friends told us that she hated jasmine because it smells like mothballs. I thought she was just batty. Mothballs disgust me. But, when I went out to the farm and checked on the blooms, sure enough, all I could smell was mothballs. It smells exactly like something that makes me gag. Now, I gag every time so walk by them. Ha ha, funny how things work like that.
