Top 5 Pipe Tobacco Brands For Cigarettes

While most people continue to stay loyal to their favorite cigarette brands, over the years, quite a few smokers have opted for different methods of smoking, like hand-rolling their cigarettes or using tobacco pipes. The simple reasons for this switch are that pipe tobacco is much cheaper, and it has lesser chemicals. It is also available in an endless variety of flavored blends, and smokers can also create their blends as per their preferences. 

That being said, if you are planning on switching to pipe tobacco for your cigarettes, there are a few things to keep in mind. You will need to use the ribbon-cut tobacco, as the flake cut does not work well with cigarettes. Also, as pipe tobacco can often be slightly moist, you may need to dry it out before rolling it into a cigarette. 

3 Types Of Tobacco

Commercial tobacco is available in 3 general varieties, i.e., Virginia, Burley, and Oriental.

• Virginia Tobacco: This is the preferred tobacco in many parts of the world. It is flue-cured and contains no additives or flavors. It is also mild and slightly sweet.
• Burley Tobacco: It is air-cured. Due to losing some of its natural sugars during the air-curing process, other sugars are often added to the tobacco to improve its quality. It can be quite strong, but it still tastes good.
• Oriental Tobacco: This is the strongest of the 3 varieties. It is sun-cured, and it has an aromatic, unique flavor.
