[QUOTE="monbla256, post: 424267, member: 2244"] First I'd like to say that was a well written and reasoned discourse and I am pleased to have read it. But sadly on one issue you are wrong and even Mr. Pease has acknowledged this , ALL TOBACCOS ARE CASED ! It's part of the processing done by the original suppliers of raw leaf to blenders PRIOR to their blending. It is what allows the tobacco to burn evenly and stay lit. Try taking some raw unprocessed leaf right off the farm , shred /cut it so that you can put it in a pipe and smoke it and you'll go thru a whole BOX of large wooden matches trying to smoke it!! This casing/topping thing si mistaken by most folks as the SAME thing and it is NOT!! TOPPINGS are ADDED by BLENDERS as part of their blending process to already CASED leaf that they use to make their blends. As far as the dreaded "ketchup thing" , ANY Virginia leaf that is FLUE CURED and allowed to ferment as part of the production process will contain this aroma but will not taste like ketchup in the smoking. Part of my father's family lived in N. Carolina and were tobacco farmers and I spent many summers up there on their farms and recall this aroma on the flue cured tobacco we took to market. Being a long time McC's VA smoker, since I first tried their blend/mixtures in 1990, I will admit to being somewhat prejudiced but do respect you for your well thought out discourse of your personal experience. We need more of this. Onward thru the Fog !! :twisted: :twisted: [/QUOTE]
