Cavendish may or may not be aromatic, as it may or may not be flavoured. Looesly speaking, cavendish is a tobacco that has been processed in a particular way - either through steam and heat (American and "Dutch" cavendish), or through pressing in steam jacketed presses (English). Often, these tobaccos are cased (the addition of sugars and SOME flavouring components) before processing. Sometimes, they are also flavoured.Davey":a3fbc2bm said:If an "Aromatic" is anything flavored...why isn't a cavandish blend considered such...or for that matter anything "yopped" or "cased"...?
The structure of burleys make them ideal for aromatics. They take up the flavouring sauces readily, and provide good body, and a taste that is harmonious with the sweeter toppings. Often, virginias are also added to the mix both for their own flavour, and to mitigate some of the strength and alkalinity of burleys, and other spice tobaccos are sometimes used. But, basically, if you want to sauce burleys, all you have to do is spray the stuff on, and let the open structure of the leaf take it up.showme1or2":etoda8uv said:I've noticed that burley is a common ingredient in aromatic tobaccos (and many tobaccos termed cavendish). Is this because burley readily takes on the characteristics of whatever is being added?
I don't get along well with burley tobacco and often will not try a blend more based on the fact that it is burley than aromotic or cavendish, which both often carry negative connotations. Can anyone recommend some good aromatics that are burleyless?
It's not billed as an aromatic, but Just For Him tobacco shop in Springfield, MO has a VA/Per called Golden Cashmere with an aroma my wife absolutely loves. AFAIK it contains no burley. www.justforhim.com.showme1or2":xwb261as said:I've noticed that burley is a common ingredient in aromatic tobaccos (and many tobaccos termed cavendish).
