Tastes, that is.
I often see burley pipe tobacco reviews that say the taste can be reminiscent of cigarettes. I think this must be an American thing.
In Canada, cigarette tobacco is highly regulated, and it’s definitely Virginia. Straight Virginia pipe tobacco blends, which seem to be valued as subtle and sweet, taste like Canadian cigarettes to me. Whereas burleys seem nutty and exotic, and nothing like cigarettes.
Any other people familiar with both sides of the border have insight into this issue of taste?
