How do they make the tobacco vanilla?!


Question: Flavorings are used and there are basically two main ways to add flavorings to tobacco. The two ways, as they are technically known, are ‘topping’ and ‘casing.’

Topped tobaccos have a flavoring agent that is applied literally to the ‘top’ of the tobacco AFTER the tobacco has been processed. This lends an added, subtle dimension to the leaf without overwhelming the tobacco taste.

Cased tobaccos are more involved and generally more flavorful. Casing is the process of adding sugars and flavoring agents BEFORE the raw leaf is processed further. The raw leaf is soaked or sprayed with a heavy solution of sugars and flavorings like licorice, vanilla or cherry, etc. The amount of sauce absorbed by the leaf depends on the method of application, the structure of the leaf, and the length of time the leaf is in contact with the sauce before further processing. The leaf is then processed as usual. It can be conditioned and cut, or pressed and held to allow further fermentation. It can be heated, steamed, toasted, or just allowed to air out.
