[QUOTE="Northern Neil, post: 291750, member: 2870"] As I understand it, an English Blend refers to a term used back in the day, when pipe smoking was the most prominant form of tobacco consumption, to separate the pure natural tobaccos from England and the Aromatic tobaccos from America. A true English Blend is a blend that is created using nothing but natural tobaccos. No flavors or humidicants added. Today, the term "English Blend" refers to a much broader range of tobaccos. Honestly, I do not think there is one universally accepted definition for an "English Blend." The definition will change depending on the person describing it. As for oriental tobaccos. These are considered condement tobaccos. They will be added to a base of Burley or Virginia to add depth and flavor to a blend. [/QUOTE]
