Choose the right one - a short guide
When choosing tobacco, after quality and purity, first of all they pay attention to the strength, determined by the degree of nicotine content. Traditionally, it is light (1-1.15% nicotine), medium (2-3%) and strong (4% and above). Different varieties and mixtures are characterized by a different strength indicated on the package.
Popular tobacco varieties include the following:
- "Virginia" - the most common species, originally grown in the US state of the same name, then spread to Europe, Asia, and America. It is characterized by a strength with a content of 2% nicotine, has a mild, sweetish taste due to the presence of a large amount of sugar in the leaves, has a high smokiness,
- "Burley" - a variety of strength significantly ahead of the previous one (nicotine content up to 4.5%). Homeland of origin and cultivation - USA. Taste - pleasant, nutty, rich aroma. The main highlight is the ability to slowly smolder. Often it is for this feature that it is included as one of the components in other mixtures.
- "Oriental" is distinguished by small oval-shaped leaves and a caramel aftertaste. Grown in the vicinity of the Mediterranean and Black Seas,
- "Kentucky" - the same "Burley", but dried over a fire, due to which it acquires characteristic smoky notes in taste,
- "Lattakia" - tobacco, bearing the name of the city of the same name in Turkey, is grown in Syria and Cyprus. It has a harsh "smoked" aroma and taste, as it also goes through the stage of drying over the fire. This type is mainly in mixes, giving them special brutal notes.
Finding "your" sort of tobacco or its mixture is akin to an exciting journey into the world of many aromas and tastes. The search will provide an opportunity to get a new experience, and the result will depend on how high-quality tobacco was chosen.
