I read this question and I was left wondering: is there a good description of each tobacco leaf type? How does the mixture get influenced by the various leaves? Examples (we all know them): Virginia Latakia Perique Turkish Burley Cavendish. What characteristic, appearance, and flavor does each tobacco have? I know latakia is mostly responsible for the smokey flavor of the "early morning", but I know very little about the others.
I think it would make a great addition to the FAQ.
