[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 397730, member: 1969"] Finding an aromatic with no burley is gonna be a tough thing. Burley has a very "neutral" way about it, it's thick, it's spongy, and the perfect medium to soak up all sorts of sauce, flavorings and other sugary stuff. That's why it's the base for a vast majority of tobaccos. Now, I have heard it told that any tobacco can be "cavendished," as cavendish is a process more than a type of tobacco. Both a sweetened and unsweetened version are most common, but are treated much the same. Finding out what tobacco is cavendish will be daunting at best. If you don't like burley, you're gonna have a hell of a time sticking around aromatics, dude. If you don't mind my saying so, it sounds like you're more into the flavor on the tobacco rather than the tobacco itself. I believe McClelland might be your best bet, they have this crossover aromatic that I don't think contains too much burley, if any, "Oriental Cavendish." The other is the Fragrant Mature Cake (bulk) 2000, which I used to like, but I have had a permanent breakup with McClelland in the last couple of years. I don't recall FMC 2000 having a ton of burley, but it does have a slightly sauced Virginia. People you could probably talk to in-depth about what they use in their own blends are: Pipeworks & Wilke [url=http://www.vtpipes.com/tobacco.html]http://www.vtpipes.com/tobacco.html[/url] and Boswell's [url=http://www.boswellpipes.com/tobaccoblends.html]http://www.boswellpipes.com/tobaccoblends.html[/url] Good luck. 8) 8) [/QUOTE]
