The flavors of pipe tobacco are what draw most people to pipes, and flavors can range from sweet and nutty to smoky and bold. Virginia tobacco, which as the name suggests, is in harvested in Virginia, has a naturally fruity flavor, while air-cured Burley tobacco has the addition of various sugars to create a variety of sweet, nutty flavors. Oriental sun-cured tobacco is one of the many spice tobaccos available, and fired cured tobaccos, such as Latakia, offer a more mellow, smoky taste. Perique is an expensive tobacco, which is fermented to produce a taste resembling cooked fruit, while Cavendish tobacco refers to the curing process rather than the tobacco type, and can encompass flavors such as cherry, chocolate, coconut, vanilla, and rum. Many pipe connoisseurs have taken to creating their own blends of tobacco for truly unique flavors.
