My question was more pointed towards the different kinds of tobaccos used in cigars: Little Dutch, Comstock Spanish, Long Red, Pennsylvania Red, Lancaster Seed Leaf, Glessnor, etc. etc. I found this site, and was just wondering if these tobaccos are distinguishable enough in taste.
Well, I don't ever expect them to be for me. I just want to be better able to pick out the profiles of different tobacco producing countries and be able to pic them out of a blend. If I tried to analyze it to the degree your asking about........all the fun would get sucked right out of it.

For example.....mexican tobacco is used as binders in a crapload of cigars, more than I ever would have thought given the bad wrap that mexican sticks get and, frankly, I don't really enjoy the Mexican puros a whole lot though some are O.k......but, if I smoked a few and got really familiar with the profile, flavors, etc...would I be able to pick that component out when smoking another cigar that uses Mexican tobacco? That is my quest.
