Pipe tobacco is normally cured using the fire-curing method.

In fire curing, smoke from a low-burning fire on the barn floor permeates the leaves. This gives the leaves a distinctive smokey aroma and flavour. Fire curing takes three to ten weeks and produces a tobacco low in sugar and high in nicotine. Pipe tobacco, chewing tobacco, and snuff are fire cured.

 

The list of tobacco seeds we have suitable for pipe smoking is as follows:
