[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 192012, member: 1969"] Casing, topping, smoking (of the tobacco itself before use, like Latakia) curing (air/flue/fire-curing), varietal, aging, fermenting, etc. all have roles to play both in flavor and room-note (which isn't "so-called," it exists ubiquitously, albeit pleasant to those around the smoker or not) :) Basically, though, there are aromatics, which have a casing/flavoring additive that can both change the scent of the smoke or the flavor, or both. Usually when those not smoking approach the pipe smoker and swoon about how great it smells, or how they sniff the smokey air and wax poetic on sentiment of people/times past, it's an aromatic. :sunny: Non-aromatics, while most having a very slight "binder" in the form of certain sugars or simply the juice of the tobacco itself (under pressure/fermenting), let the tobacco speak for itself, both in room-note and flavor to the smoker. Like a heavy Latakia blend will usually send people running with their nose pinched to the hills. :twisted: It gets more detailed than this with other specifics/variables; that's the best I can do in a simple answer. 8) [/QUOTE]
