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.
"I flashed up a cigar, hand made no less with Pennsylvanian filler, Aged Dominican Volado filler, Dominican binder and Ecuadorian Seco Shade wrapper! I rolled it a little loose so it is not the best draw, but, man what a flavourfull smoke. Once I get the rolling pressure down this will be my go to smoke. An absolute full to overflowing mouthfull of rich vanila-ish, bitter chocolate flavour. I am pleased beyond expectations. I will try another blend from my last order to tweak it some more, but, wow! what a pleasant surprise. Thank you again for being there with all your help ordering and supplying. I think the people at Leaf Only work very hard to please their customers. "
