PIPE TOBACCO VARIETIES:
The list of tobacco seeds we have suitable for pipe tobacco is listed on the left.
Pipe tobacco is normally cured using the fire-curing method.
In fire curing, smoke from a low-burning fire on the barn floor permeates the leaves. This gives the leaves a distinctive smokey aroma and flavour. Fire curing takes three to ten weeks and produces a tobacco low in sugar and high in nicotine. Pipe tobacco, chewing tobacco, and snuff are fire cured.
