Exciting news here! Jon Tillmon of TobaccoReviews.com has offered the factual data on Blends and Brands in their extensive database. We hope to import this to Pipedia, develop indexes of Brands and Blends, and start using Pipedia to develop history and lore aspects, while TobbocoReviews continues reviewing, and ideally linking between the two.
The article has a lot of outdated (e.g. Vegas Smoke does not sell tobacco for at least a year, Nichols & Brown is also out of business if I am not mistaken), misleading (e.g. absense of additives (?) in non-aromatic blends, British laws and adulterants in tobaccos) and wrong (e.g. Percy Martin is the only grower of the "authentic" Perique).
The number of readily available tobacco related resources is enormous. This is symptomatic that only resources of not clear credibility are mentioned.
- Great idea, Misha! Would you like to improve it? The article is largely based on the ASP FAQ on tobaccos at this point, and I'm sure much of that is simply dated now. I do not have the expertise to do this without a great deal of effort, and could really use the help if you're interested. Thanks! Scott
