Pipe Tobacco: Difference between revisions

Line 48: Line 48:
A good aromatic tobacco is lightly topped with a natural flavoring. Aromatics tend to be more moist than non-aromatics due to the flavoring added, which can lead to problems smoking them. Some more masterful aromatic blends manage to avoid this. In the case of a moist or wet blend, problems can also be avoided if care is taken in the preparation of the tobacco. This can include setting a portion out to dry a little, and taking any remaining moisture into account when packing the pipe. See [[Pipe Packing and Smoking techniques]].

These are tobaccos that contain no flavored additives, although sometimes these distinctions are blurred. Many of the better non-aromatic blends contain no additives whatsoever, other than water, and perhaps a trace of vinegar, others are less strict with the content.
