Tobaccos for smoking in pipes are often carefully treated and blended to achieve flavor nuances not available in other tobacco products.[citation needed] Many of these are blends using staple ingredients of variously cured Burley and Virginia tobaccos which are enhanced by spice tobaccos, among them many Oriental or Balkan varietals, Latakia (a fire-cured spice tobacco of Syrian origin, but now made in other regions, such as, Cyprus and Lebanon ), Perique (uniquely grown in St. James Parish, Louisiana) which is also an old method of fermentation, or blends of Virginia and Burley tobaccos of African, Indian, or South American origins. Traditionally, many U.S. blends are made of American Burley with sweeteners and flavorings added to create an "aromatic" flavor, whereas "English" blends are based on natural Virginia tobaccos enhanced with Oriental and other natural tobaccos. There is a growing tendency towards "natural" tobaccos which derive their aromas from artful blending with selected spice tobaccos only and careful, often historically-based, curing processes.
Pipe tobacco can be purchased in several forms, which vary both in flavor (leading to many blends and opportunities for smokers to blend their own tobaccos) and in the physical shape and size to which the tobacco has been reduced. Most pipe tobaccos are less mild than cigarette tobacco, substantially more moist and cut much more coarsely. Too finely cut tobacco does not allow enough air to flow through the pipe, and overly dry tobacco burns too quickly with little flavor. Pipe tobacco must be kept in an airtight container, such as a canning jar or sealed tin, to keep from drying out.
Some pipe tobaccos are cut into long narrow ribbons. Some are pressed into flat plugs which are sliced into flakes. Others are tightly wound into long ropes, then sliced into discs. Plug tobacco is maintained in its pressed block form and sold in small blocks. The plug will be sliced into thin flakes by the smoker and then prepared in a similar fashion to flake tobacco. It is considered that plug tobacco holds its flavor better than rubbed or flake tobacco. Flake tobacco (sliced cakes or ropes) may be prepared in several ways. Generally it is rubbed out with the fingers and palms until it is loose enough to pack. It can also be crumbled or simply folded and stuffed into a pipe. Some people also prefer to dice up very coarse tobaccos before using them, making them easier to pack.

John Cotton's Double Pressed Dark Fired brings the boldest blend
yet to this storied brand. A flake made of dark-fired Kentucky
from two continents gets completely tumbled out and allowed to
breathe for weeks before it gets placed back into a press and
turned into a crumble cake. This process makes the flavor richer
and deeper, with more consistency. The result is robust tobacco
that burns slowly and with an earthy and smoky character with
just the right amount of sweetness for fantastic balance. John
Cotton's Double Pressed Dark Fired is a hearty smoke that's great
after a nice meal or for the last bowl of the day.

John Cotton's Double Pressed Kentucky brings a new approach to
pressed tobaccos that's almost revolutionary. It starts with
smoky dark-fired Kentucky blended with sweet Virginias. These are
pressed, sliced in to flakes which are then tumbled out into a
ribbon. The tobacco is allowed to breathe and then moved back to
the press to be formed into a crumble cake. This causes a second
maturation cycle which deepens the flavor and takes any sharp
edges off the blend. The aroma in the tin will enrapture you and
the flavor is so rich that you'll want to go back for another
bowl. Get ready for a new experience with John Cotton's Double
Pressed Kentucky.

Many people who enjoy English and Balkan blends will buy them and
age them for months or even years to take the "edge" off the
Latakia flavor, and also to let the Virginias become a bit
sweeter. With John Cotton's Double Pressed Latakia, a lot of that
effort has already been done for you. It starts out as a flake
that consists of smoky Cyprian Latakia, select ripe Virginias,
fragrant Orientals, and a bit of Burley to add even more body.
Then the aged flakes are fully rubbed out and allowed to breathe
for weeks. Then the tobacco is put back into a press and formed
into a crumble cake. The second pressing helps to mellow the
Latakia and deepen the other flavors for a truly harmonious
result. This isn't a "lat-bomb" by any means. The balance of John
Cotton's Double Pressed Latakia is just about perfect if you
don't like getting bowled over with smokiness.

Have you avoided Virginias because they tend to be sharp? Those
days are over with John Cotton's Double Pressed Virginia.
A blend of sweet Virginias is first pressed and then sliced into
a flake. It's then tumbled into a ribbon, allowed to breathe and
put back into the mold to be pressed again into a crumble cake.
This darkens the leaf, gives it a deeper, richer flavor, and
takes much of the "edge" off the blend. Finally, there's a
Virginia tobacco that just about anyone can enjoy - John Cotton's
Double Pressed Virginia.
John Cotton's Double Pressed Virginia was the winner of the 2019
Chicago Bowl.
