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 have been smoking junk all my life. Your order received! I have never smoked a cigarette that is so smooth and tasty. I mean REALLY smooth!! You all are really on to something, and doing a fine singular service to all of us who engage in this addiction. You have my business for as long as I smoke! I only wish I found you sooner!! So for now we got enough leaf & stuff to keep us busy for awhile, but you will be hearing from us again. Your site is so deep with info that I can figure this all out by myself so far.So a big THANKS & Best Wishes to all & Happy Holidays!
Much appreciated, more than you know
