[QUOTE="huffelpuff, post: 347893, member: 2140"] I am given to understand that cigar tobacco also undergoes a much more laborious fermentation/ageing process than other types of tobacco. Requiring frequent stacking, unstacking, and restacking of the fermenting piles. Trying to maintain a certain temperature and that overshooting it by just a few degrees is grounds for discarding an entire pile. Cigar tobaccos can also be aged for 5-9 years as well which requires space and a good deal of tied up inventiry. Whereas pipe tobacco is usually just dried to a certain point and bailed for storage. Much less labor required as leaves do not need to be whole or blemish free either. Perique on the other hand is seriously labor intensive and has a much higher price accordingly. Just a few thoughts on the subject. Jim [/QUOTE]
