Facts of Raw Tobaccos
Cavendish
Cavendish is not a natural tobacco type, but rather the result of a special way of processing Virginia and Burley tobaccos. The most commonly used methods of making Cavendish are, first, pressing the tobacco while adding heat and casing and, second heating the tobacco by steam processing. Both methods make the tobacco black as well as more mild and sweet.
Burley
Burley is known for having very low sugar content, and its leaves often contain no natural sugar. Burley tobacco has a robust aroma, burns well in the pipe and carries a slight hint of cocoa in its taste; but it does not have the sweet taste of Virginia tobaccos.
Virginia
Throughout history Virginia tobacco has been highly valued, and today it is the most widely used base tobacco in pipe tobacco mixtures. The popularity of Virginia is based on the high natural sugar and aromatic content in its leaves. These natural ingredients give Virginia tobacco its sweet and aromatic taste.
Latakia
Latakia originally comes from Syria. After drying the leaves in the sun they are exposed to smoke from the fire and thus absorb aromatics from the smoke. Latakia is also a tobacco we use only as seasoning because it is very strong, spicy and most pipe smokers find it unpleasant to smoke in a pure form.
Information about Meerschaum Pipes from Turkey
What is meerschaum? Meerschaum translated from German means "sea foam." This name reflects the meerschaum qualities of light-weight and white color.

Unlike briar, Meerschaum is a mineral (Hydrous Magnesium Silicate).

Meerschaum is mined wet from depths of up to 400 feet. Pipe carvers then transform this block of raw stone into smooth, elegant shapes and intricately carved designs. These hand-carving techniques have been handed down from generation to generation. This makes the Servi Meerschaum Pipe one of the most prestigious, enjoyable and beautiful pipes you can own.

How do I color a new meerschaum pipe? Because of its porous nature, Sold Block Meerschaum's most fantastic characteristic is its gradual process of changing colors from white to deep or golden brown.
