This one's been tossed around before. Granger is a rough cut Kentucky burley tub and pouch tobacco that's been around for about a century. It likely has some casing, and a tobacconist I trust says with some confidence that it has been tweaked enough that at least technically it is an aromatic. Since it is a legacy codger blend, I don't think of it that way. How subdued should flavoring be before a blend becomes an non-aromatic? Come to think of it, is Granger even a blend, or is it a single leaf tobacco. I know it has been sold once or twice, from one pipe tobacco maker to another, so it is not an absolutely consistent blend, and the processing has probably change, though it still claims "the Wellman's method" (do I have that right?). We've joked that that might be leaving the tobacco barn's door open an eighth of a inch. I guess the question is, for practical descriptive purposes, would you call Granger an aromatic or non-aro? And is it a blend, since it seems to be pretty much all Kentucky burley of one type? Size up good old Granger, as you see it.
