di questo tabacco ho solo un vago ricordo, ma rammento che al termine di un incontro degustativo fu ribattezzato dai partecipanti PFU... mi incuriosisce piuttosto la faccenda del " moganato":cos'è? una cultivar di virginia?una lavorazione?una stagionatura in barrique di mogano?un'aggiunta di mogano distillato?insomma cos'è??
" Tobacco GradesMost pipe tobaccos are composed of several different kinds of raw tobacco, and in each raw tobacco there are different grades.The names of the raw tobaccos are common knowledge, but the grades are determined by the tobacco companies. The grades are based on:- the tobacco leaf's position on the plant- the leaf's degree of ripeness- the colour of the leaf- the smoke from the leaf - its strength, aroma, roundness and purityIt takes at least 10 years of daily work in a raw tobacco department to learn about grading them.But the raw tobaccos themselves, referred to her as basic tobaccos, you can get to know in a couple of minutes.Virginia Tobaccos:Virginia tobacco is the most widespread basic tobacco. Virginia is named after the State of Virginia in USA, where this tobacco was first grown.
