Tobacco Selections: Bright and Red Virginia
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ย. 2024
- A lot of people ask about the different grades of leaf we use to create our pipe tobacco blends. Truth is, there aren't that many of them. In the case of Virginias, for example, we use only one bright grade and three red grades in nearly all our blends. Tune in as Jeremy Reeves talks a little more about these grades, explains the differences between them, and offers an inside look into our selection process.
Cool to see a little of the behind the scenes. Hope you guys do more!
I always let out an indoor, office appropriate “YEE HAW!” when one of Jeremy’s videos is uploaded 😀
Thanks for your teaching about tobaccos videos! Very interesting & educational!
Awesome to see a new installment on your channel. Great video. You always inform in a clear and concise way Thank you for all you do to produce quality pipe tobacco that is always available and affordable.
Another great addition to the informational line up, thank you for taking the time and effort to make them. It is sad how the pipe smoking industry lack in that regard while the cigar industry is filled with documentaries and interviews with leading blenders and manufacturers and for that i am pretty sure every pipe smoker is thankful for your videos. Virginia is certainly a tricky leaf, your autumn evening red virginia has strength to it that some heavy burly blends do not provide. Best regards

After blending tobacco for 40 years I have found nothing ages and improves in tobacco better than red Virginia.
I have some blends nearing 35 years old now and the complexity and flavor is out of the world and you cannot get
without at least a twenty years ageing. What works best is temperature extremes of sitting in wood barrels and tightly
packed through hot North Carolina Summers to cold hard Winters. The main thing is to keep the humidity constant once you seal
which I do using layers of burlap bags and plastic bags before going into the barrels. After many years of ageing and looking at it in bright
light you will see the sugar crystals and the tobacco turns a dark hard red with no brown remaining. Nothing is better in a pipe bowl.
Chris about how you layer everything in the barrel. Tobacco, plastic, burlap, plastic, tobacco, etc...
@@MrHihowryou I like to press the tobacco down as tightly in the burlap bags and then put them in wood barrel and then seal the outside with layers of plastic bags to control the humidity inside.
Jeremy, thanks for this very informative and helpful video I appreciate it. I'm sure the YTPC will appreciate it as well
If I didn't know better I would have thought this to be a wine review. 👏
Can't wait to see the future videos of C&D blending components. Also, Could you make a video of the new factory?
Yes, I would absolutely love to see the new factory.
Bought some Virginia flake and Latakia bulk, mixed half and half and gave it try. Experimenting of course. Thanks for all of your videos, I'm amping up my learning curve
How did it go?
Great video and explanation. I love the nuisances you are picking up on your pallet.
Hell Yeah! I gave you a thousand thumbs up but TH-cam only counts one.
Thank you for educating us on what we are smoking, it is really great to see how much care and pride you take in the tobacco!
C&D Bright Virginia ribbon is my all day everyday smoke 👍
More of a burley smoker than Virginia, but C&D’s Virginia’s are the best in my book. Great video this gives a greater appreciation for the subtleties of this leaf.
LOVE the video! Thanks for bringing us some awesome informative content. I really enjoy smoking C&D blends. Can’t wait for more content like this. Going to have to catch up on your past videos now! Che hoooooooo🗣💨
Great video. Can't wait for what's next. I could geek out on these all day!
Dear Jeremy- TANKS!!! This (and all your excellent videos) has educated me, edified me and set me loose upon Virginias for their magnificent individual identities! Just purchased (and smoked quite a bit of) ALL of the Briarworks Tobaccos. BRAVO SIR. Truly a blessing! CHEERS!
You and C&D are the best. looking forward to the next video👍👍
Loving these vids.
I am a C&D man.
Best blends in the business
Virginia is my most single favorite tobacco. Be it light or red it has a character all its own. All of C&D's vids are very informative.
Jeremy, terrific seminar on Virginias. Thanks.
All of these videos are great. Maybe do a Q&A series sometime. Like do you age any leaf once it arrives or is it all processed as it arrives. What is the most time consuming blend to make? What humectants are used etc. Great stuff.
Great suggestion! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing, always a pleasure, see you next month
I love C&D blends, Straight Virginia, Lat bomb, and burley. And it is making me more fascinating to learn how it made. Recently i bought some sun bear and now it shipping to my country. i'm sure that i will like your oriental too.
This is very relaxing I feel like we have smoked together ha. Great video, helps to see how some of my favorite blends have come to be.
I have a ridiculous amount of your yellow Virginia socked away aging. A personal favorite.
Great video! I enjoy learning about the details of blending.
Great series, and very informative! Thank you, and enjoy your weekend!
Thanks Jeremy, very illustrated!
Great video. I hope you make more like this with other components. Cheers.
They sound fantastic. I would love to see a Red Virginia and light bright Virginia Flake. Just straight Virginia. Thanks for sharing. Blessings from Gettysburg pa
Opening Night and Union Square are just such flakes, both made with these tobaccos. Union Square is slightly more Bright forward and Opening Night is slightly more Red forward. Same grades, no casing, no topping.
Jeremy Reeves
I am such a C&D fan. Thanks for responding. Really appreciate what Yinz do. Blessings from Gettysburg pa
Please keep these videos coming!
WTF?How did i found this chanell only now???I am subscribed straight away
I like the way you talk.... I'm from Indonesia, the best tobacco-producing area, yes, that's Temanggung
Very informational video Brother. Thank you for taking the time to explain it out to us. Hope y’all are enjoying the new place. Should show us around soon !!
I love these videos! Thanks, Jeremy!
Great Video, lots of good information. Thank you, Sir.
Glad it was helpful!
This is an excellent video!
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it!
My two favorites. Add a bit o’ perique and I’m set.
Great job
Enjoyed the video! More like this, please!
Don't worry, there will for sure be more!
Great video!
Thx, really good information, keep up the great blending, I’m sold on Morning Light with an espresso. Good job...
Learning more with each episode
Great video, thanks again!
Excellent video, thank you
Thanks for the great info.
Fun watch! Do more component videos like this!
For sure! Stay tuned!
Jeremy,
Thank you for the video. I really enjoy your insights. I’d also like to see more videos about specific blends like you did for Pegasus or where you pull back the curtain like you did for Golden Days of Yore. 👍👍
Thanks, Brad! We'll definitely try to produce more of those as well! Thanks for the suggestion!
I'd love to hear what notes you pick up after blending the two as well as all three after 2, 5, and 10 years of aging.
I wish I would have devoured all of these videos before diving into reviewing blends for my channel. I am thoroughly enjoying this content! Thanks and Happy Piping!
This was very helpful and insightful! Helps me to understand blends much better. My very sincere thanks!
Hi,
Is Interlude a blend of different Red Virginia grades, or is it all one grade? I love these videos you all produce. I find them informative and as a customer I appreciate the information and transparency.
-Alex
Excellent! Love this video. Thank you. More like this, please.
I'd like to know a bit about those pipes Jeremy smokes with in these videos.
Hello!
Beautiful Video thx 😉
Excellent vid please keep them coming, are you going to be at the Ohio show next week ? I saw you there last year
Yes, sir! I'll see you there!
I love seeing the process of how C&D's products get into my pipe. I think Sansepolcro is my favorite C&D blend that contains reds. Probably my favorite red blend from any producer that I have tried. If anyone knows of another blend that may be similar from C&D I would love a suggestion. I have only been enjoying my pipes regularly for about a year now.
Red Virginia is my absolute favorite
I've yet to find any bright Virginia with as light a color tone as @ 4:06. No matter what picture they show, it's always closer to red Virginia's color. I'm guessing bright is more expensive so they all cut their supposedly bright VA only blends with Burely and Reds.
I like the light verginea
Do the farmers that grow these specific cultivars grow from seed or do they monocrop rooted cuttings from a selected mother? Just wondering, thanks
nice shirt! Wavin' from PDX.
work of my dreams
Great video. What are good pipes to use in testing blends before the initial product is finished?
God Be The Glory.
Hello MR Cornell do you also make and sell Tobacco Fragrance Body Oil.
What C&D tobacco products contain just the light and red Virginia in it?
I stg why does every YTPC video use the same background music 💀
What is the music here? thx!
Are there differences in the curing and/or processing?
I find red Virginias very similar to red wines. They both also need to breathe a bit
Am I wrong in thinking Oreintals and Balkans don't use the gallons and gallons of poisons on tobacco like Virginia does...not to mention Virginia they are bred for high nicotine rather than taste ?...
Yes
You make me want to buy them separate
What kind of pipes are those?
Clay pipes
Matches sent me.
Anybody use this golden virginia for rollin cigarettes
