Every year more and more smokers refuse to buy factory-made cigarettes in favor of independent production of smoking mixtures. On the one hand, this saves money, and on the other hand, it provides an opportunity to create the most suitable aroma composition, based on the available tastes.
In general, offered by specialized online stores tobacco for cigarettes is represented by a wide range products in which you can find mixtures with both classic and specific (for example, fruit or herbal) taste. At the same time, some adherents of homemade cigarettes prefer to mix smoking compounds, which allows them to achieve a unique aroma.
Types of tobacco
Products intended for use in tubes and roll-ups are represented by a wide range of names and brands. However, as a rule, it is made on the basis of three plant varieties, namely:
- Virginia. It is the most widely used tobacco worldwide and is the main ingredient in most manufactured cigarettes. Among its advantages, it is worth noting the classic aftertaste without bitter notes, which is provided due to the high content of sugars in the structure of its fibers. It is this type of product that is most often the basis for making homemade smoking mixtures.
- Burleigh. Another classic type of American tobacco, characterized by high absorbent qualities. This is why it is often used to create flavored smoking mixtures with citrus or exotic fruit flavors.
- Kentucky. The homeland of this tobacco is the territory of the US state of the same name, and its main feature is the presence of a large amount of oily substances. Because of this, it is usually chosen by long-time pipe enthusiasts.
In addition, Perique tobacco is often used for self-production of smoking mixtures. This is primarily due to its slow decay. Its fermentation is carried out in special vacuum chambers, due to which a high level of density of plant flakes is achieved.
Slicing type
Home-use tobacco is offered by manufacturers in a variety of processing options, including:
- flaked - the best choice for first-time smokers;
- noodle-shaped - provides a high packing density and also has a longer smoldering time.
It should be noted that the product of both the first and the second type is suitable for packing rolls and pipes. But in the second case, it is better to opt for mixtures with a higher moisture content.
