How To Make Cavendish Pipe Tobacco

 Certain pipes smoke better with certain tobaccos, certain blends, or certain cuts. Many smokers don't go that far, but they may dedicate their pipes to certain blends or types of tobacco. One set of pipes for Cavendish mixes and another for aromatics and oriental spices. 

It all depends on the manufacturer, but oven tobacco can essentially be thought of as something like the Cavendish process, but the results can vary considerably depending on the amount of steam, heat and pressure, and the type of tobacco. Cured Cavendish tobacco is usually smoother and softer than the same leaf before processing. Subsequent fermentation using brown or green leaves usually takes several months, turning the tobacco from dark brown to black. 

Water atomizers are then used to reintroduce moisture into the leaf (about 14 percent by weight) to make the tobacco pliable again. The cake is then heated over fire or steam, allowing the tobacco to ferment. Processing and cutting bring out the natural sweet taste of tobacco. 

Cavendish can be made from any type of tobacco but is usually one or a blend of Kentucky, Virginia, and Burley varieties, most commonly used in pipe tobacco and cigars. Almost any type of tobacco can be used in the Cavendish process, but in general Virginia and Burley are the most common ingredients, although some European styles of Cavendish may include oriental tobacco leaves or flavorings such as latakia Or perique for extra flavor. Mixed spices. The tobacco leaf varieties most commonly used to make Cavendish tobacco are Virginia and Burley. Like burley, Cavendish is most commonly used to blend aromatic tobaccos, usually flavored with cherry, coconut, rum, or vanilla.

The difference between homemade black Cavendish and the black Cavendish you can buy at a tobacconist is the additives (and possibly the quality of the tobacco). Most commercial black Cavendish is flavored (usually with vanilla) and usually contains propylene glycol and glycerin, both of which are used as humectants (so it always feels fresh, just like Twinkie). For example, in Europe, especially England, black Cavendish is usually made from Virginia tobacco because the leaves contain natural sugars, which help it caramelize to a dark brown, almost black color, which is called by some pipe smokers For the brown Cavendish. . 

In the tobacco trade, Virginia tobacco is defined not by where it is produced, but by the seeds used, the method of harvesting the leaves (which often turn yellow when they are fully mature), and the drying process, which helps Ensure high natural sugar content in aged products. However, due to the large amount of vocabulary and terminology often used in pipes, there can be some confusion as to what is a blending process and what is a tobacco grade. 

Despite the old debate about what a "real Cavendish" is, here's how to sweeten tobacco. Choose "sugar" for your Cavendish or, for a more natural sweetness, choose a tobacco high in natural sugars... like a shiny Virginia. 

You can use Burley, Virginia, Even fired or Oriental, or a mixture of both. You can mix it up to expand other mixes or tame some of the harsher ones.
