[QUOTE="CACooper, post: 353341, member: 789"] Most Cavendish style aromatics contain Propylene Glycol (PG), a humectant that preserves moisture and allows the flavoring to penetrate the leaf. It also has anti-fungal properties that retards mold. PG is a food grade additive found in many foods, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Tasteless, odorless and "generally recognized as safe" by the FDA. Without PG, tobacco dries out very fast and turns to powder during processing. Most, if not all pipe tobaccos contain some amount of PG. Without it, mold soon develops and ruins the tobacco in short order. PG is a good thing, but some blenders overdo it, resulting in the proverbial "soupy, goopy" blend. CACooper [/QUOTE]
