Mainly used to make cigarette tobacco leaf blends a bit stronger and smoother, Maryland 609 is also used for cigar filler, pipe blends, and chewing tobacco leaf. Maryland 609 is a “light air cured” type of tobacco similar to Burley but lighter in body and more neutral in flavor.
Our Maryland 609 is a thin bodied “Light Air Cured” reminiscent of our (more full-flavored) Burley. Maryland 609 has classically been used for commercial cigarette blends across the United States and beyond. Traditionally grown in Maryland, our Maryland 609 is now grown with the same seed in Pennsylvania. This tobacco is best mixed with Flue Cured tobacco and is perfect for cigarettes and pipes.
"Thank you again Monique.You are extremely pleasant to chat with with about the companies products, you knew exactly what could and couldn't be sent here. You went out of your way to get the price for me straight away and were happy to give advice to the best size and types to buy for my first order.
You are a marvel and a credit to the company. I guess that must be your supper power :) I think the contact with you was perfect, so helpful, totally the best customer relations contact I have had in a very long time.
