How the taste of tobacco changes depending on the growing region Crack open a bale and you can smell the map. You know, the taste begins in the field. Citrus brightness from sandy coastal soils, nutty depth from limestone valleys, sun-tea aromatics from terraced hills. Long before cutters and makers touch the leaf, region is […]

The most popular types of tobacco in cigarette production and their applications Open any pack and you’ll meet a blend, not a single leaf. Long before paper touches the rod-former, tobacco types are selected, cured, cut, cased, and blended to create burn rate, aroma, body, and draw. Knowing the major tobaccos used in cigarettes explains […]
