[QUOTE="RSteve, post: 558954, member: 164"] [SIZE=5]Great post: Your discussion of priming is integral to the tobacco blending of cigars, as this is an essential process in cigar blending of long filler cigars. I am convinced, however, that if a major manufacturer of pipe tobacco saw significant profit in replicating the McClelland process and blends, they'd find a way to do it. In cigars, one of my favorites for the past year has been A. Flores Desflorado which pertains to the wrapper leaf. It's from a Connecticut plant that's been removed of its flower, seeds, and large parts of the entire upper portion of the plant. This causes the tobacco plant to redirect its strength and flavor to the remaining upper tobacco leaves. The product is a Connecticut wrapper with significantly more flavor than Connecticut or Connecticut shade. I'd guess, without evidence, that there are other producers of pipe tobacco/Virginia that go through a priming process. To be honest, I think the McNeils' unique tobaccos were as much a product of their casings and top flavorings. [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
