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.

Sometimes, a cherry-flavored tobacco can be too sharp or
cloyingly sweet. Sutliff Cherry Bon Bon avoids this by using a
base of toasted, then slowly-steamed black Cavendish made from
select Green River Burley, and finishes it with a more subtle
note of dark cherry, and rounds off the rough edges by adding a
bit of warm dark chocolate, making it more reminiscent of the
holiday confectionery treat. It has a smooth, pleasant room note,
and the flavor is subtle and remarkably enjoyable. While many
black Cavendishes are overly moist and hard to keep lit easily,
Cherry Bon Bon seems to have a much drier feel than most similar
blends. Even though it’s not a damp tobacco, Sutliff Cherry Bon
Bon should be packed with a somewhat lighter touch because black
Cavendishes compress easily and can cause a tight draw.
Many people were terribly disappointed when Peter Stokkebye
stopped making their tobacco by the same name, but this version
from Sutliff more than adequately fills the void. When smoked
slowly, you will definitely taste sweet, juicy cherry with a hint
of dark chocolate. Take the time to sit back and relax with this
marvelous aromatic. You’ll be very glad you did.

Sutliff Coconut Almond is a wonderful example of attention to
detail. Both coconut and almond are rather subtle flavors. If
they were applied to tobaccos with an assertive flavor or heavy
body, the essence of the mellow top-dressings would be lost. By
choosing mellow Virginias and Burleys as the base, Sutliff has
created the ideal marriage of leaf and flavoring. Enjoy a smooth
and mellow aromatic with Sutliff Coconut Almond.
