pH Levels In Blends

[Douglas]

Are there particular blends of pipe tobacco that are closer to neutral on the pH scale than others? Not specific types of tobacco (Virginias vs Burley vs etc…) but specific named blends. Not necessarily 0.00 on the pH scale but considered to be closer to neutral than others. Thanks.

I should have said ‘not necessarily 7 on the pH scale’.

So how would most of us even know this information? Too deep for me.

PH of burleys is almost always around 5ish, but Virginias range from 5 to 7.5
The differences between them in pH is actually very small. But, pH is definitely a contributing factor to why folks get tongue bite from it, but it cannot be the only reason, IMO.
