When one phases a new variety or a new combination, the answers to the questions are even more pertinent. Over my years in the business I started changing the way tobaccos were received and used. Parts of the changes are, per Cigar Master example, the fermentaBlender, tion of tobaccos accorJosÊ Seijas ding the foliage stage from which they were picked.
