[QUOTE="Logs, post: 556323, member: 4464"] If you're not willing to believe what a blender is saying about their own blends then what can we say? Sure, maybe they're lying. But it's also possible that they're an exception to the general rule about casing... it doesn't seem like that much of a stretch. I know plenty of home growers and non-professional blenders who routinely blend with uncased tobacco and seem to be satisfied with the results. People talk about how uncased tobacco is unsmokable but that's not really true either. Yes, casing can bring out flavors but the main purpose for commercial blenders is adjusting the PH and adding a mold inhibitor. The original purpose of vinegar casing is ph and mold inhibiting. Along the way people started to like that flavor and associate it with good VA and now vinegar flavor is a popular thing for matured VA blends but that's not why it started. [/QUOTE]
