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 guys so much for the quick and speedy shipping!!! You guys are awesome! Really appreciate the quality of your product as well. Couldn't have a happier customer on this end! I will only buy from you guys from now on. You have the best fronto or "fanta" leaf that I have found outside of the Caribbean! Thanks again for everything."
