scottyfwil Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 Just how does a blender execute on something like this? If he's going for 'stone fruit' how does he find that? Is it known to exist in the seco or the ligero or the volado? Or is it low nitrogen soil or a preponderance of some other mineral that is known to produce tutti-frutti flavors in tobacco? PapaDisco has a great question here. I am interested to know how they accomplish it,, as well. Anyone know the answer?
Colt45 Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 PapaDisco has a great question here. I am interested to know how they accomplish it,, as well. Anyone know the answer? I don't believe they blend for flavors the way we describe them. That is, they are not (and most likely could not) blending to emulate dried fruit, molasses, condensed milk cream, leather, etc. I think they blend more towards things like strength, body, aroma, etc. 1
LGC Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 I believe the blenders aim for more general flavor profiles and body. Terms like marshmallow, peanut brittle, key lime, lemongrass, creme brûlée, cherries jubilee, apple tart, and lemon curd are not part of their vocabulary... ... or maybe the leaves get sprayed with fruit juice and herb extracts before going to the rolling table ... 2
