Description

This air-cured domestic tobacco grown in Maryland offers a lighter smoking experience than traditional burley thanks to its thin leaf structure. Maryland 609 delivers smooth, rich flavor in thin smokeless tobacco leaves without the harshness sometimes associated with heavier varieties.

We offer Maryland 609 in its traditional air-cured form. These domestic tobacco leaves are commonly grown in Pennsylvania and pair well with both flue-cured and oriental tobaccos.

Expect a thin to medium-bodied leaf with excellent blending potential. For a classic American-style blend, try combining it with Flue Cured Red, Lemon, and a bit of Turkish/Oriental. Don't miss out on these Maryland-grown smokeless tobacco leaves!

Follow up review. I've had it for a little over two months and this tobacco deserves and needs to sit a bit when it comes out of the bag. I found it a bit weak at first but now it took a turn towards being stronger yet pleasant. I need a strong cigarette and I am relieved that this gets stronger with time. It loses some of it's aroma by doubles down on strength.

Got my order today. I was happy to be able to get some as it was out of stock for awhile and I noticed last week they added a few to the site. Large leaves, surprisingly thin but manageable to strip. You get a lot of leaves per pound because of how thin it is. Was perfect humidity out the bag, so thin that while I was stripping it was getting a bit dryer rapidly. I removed the stems and put it back in the bag. Made a few cigarettes of straight Maryland 609 to try it and get a feel for it. Was quite nice. It tastes exactly like it smells, caramel/malt/leather with a dry finish on the tongue. Has that tongue bite and dryness of burley on the tongue but is smooth going down. Burns very well straight out the bag. Although it's manageable straight I'll blend it to really enjoy it, probably 50/50 with a mix of red, ripe and bright leaf Virginia. Although it has that tongue bite it doesn't have the throat hit I like so I'll add a bit of dark air cured to cover that throat hit I seek. I've been using red burley tips for a few months now, this is a great substitute because it's tastier and more forgiving if you put too much. Raw burley can be brutal if there's too much in the blend. This is a keeper. I'll restock some soon to make sure I don't miss out on it after first time purchasing. Nicotine is medium but very present, felt very powerful for a second but tamed itself quickly. More like medium/high nicotine. The very strong mouth feel can be misleading as the rest of the smoking experience is very smooth and flavourful but does leave that burley like burn on the palate and tongue when smoked straight.

Very nice.

Wow fast delivery as usual. Perfect case from the bag no problems with mold as warned with air cured types. The leaves are huge, thicker at the tips to very thin. I have never had straight 609 it has a great smell and tastes pretty darn good. It's strong for me, It will make a perfect blender for my pipe baccy. Thanks again WLT!

Low to medium case. Delicate, thin leaf, yet surprisingly elastic. Brought up in case a bit this will make a nice binder leaf for a roll. Nice woodsy pouch aroma. Thin, whispy, very spicy smoke. Stout throat hit. The peppery spice over powers the flavor. Definitely condimental for my style of blending.
