How to moisten dry tobacco

By Per Georg Jensen - Mac Baren Tobacco

Open the tin or pouch and place it in a plastic bag.

Bring a kettle of water to the boil.

When steam starts to form, hold the opening of the plastic bag over the steam. Make sure that the steam goes inside the bag.

Knot the bag closed and allow to stand for about one hour.

The tobacco in the bag will absorb the moisture.

After about one hour the tobacco will have regained its original moisture level.

Mac Baren packaging

PACKAGING Over time, pipe smokers have applied their creative fantasy to preserving their tobacco. The biggest problem was that the tobacco would become dry, and if made moist there was an attendant risk of mould developing. In the beginning there was simply no good way for them to keep their tobacco fresh. Another important consideration was where the pipe smoker was in the world and what the local temperature and humidity conditions were like. High temperatures and low atmospheric humidity meant that the tobacco quickly became dry – elements that still have some significance today. Countless different solutions have been used, but common to them all has been the fact that at best they have only delayed the tobacco from drying out. Sailors often used canvas to wrap tobacco in, which they then sealed with liquid tar. This helped keep the tobacco moist over a longer period of time, but unfortunately the tar would affect the taste of the tobacco, so the pleasure of smoking it would certainly have been diminished. Sailors were also known to use empty rum barrels in which to store tobacco, with the result that the tobacco not only retained its moisture for a longer period of time, but also acquired a rum taste.
							Later, ceramic and porcelain pots were used to store tobacco. The advantage of using pots was that they kept the tobacco fresh for a longer time. But the major disadvantage was that the pots were difficult to transport. So what did the pipe smoker do when he wanted to take his tobacco with him? Most of them used a leather pouch in which they could put the tobacco. These were not tobacco pouches as we know them today. The first leather pouches had no rubber membrane and consequently the lasting qualities of the tobacco were still limited.
	Nor was there much help from the tobacco factories. It is only within the last 150 years of the history of pipe smoking that tobacco has been sold in packaging that could be conveniently transported while still keeping the tobacco fresh. A look at the variety of packaging used through the ages shows that packaging initially consisted of thick paper and oiled paper. Later, metal tins were introduced, but the thing that really made a difference to the lasting qualities of tobacco was the appearance of plastic material and the technology to enable vacuum packing of tobacco in metal tins. Today Mac Baren tobaccos are available in different types of packaging, but the most commonly used are pouches and tins. When the pipe smoker peruses the selection of tobacco in his local store, the question of whether the tobacco is packed in pouches or tins will vary from one country to another. A tin contains 100 g of tobacco and if the country concerned levies a high tobacco duty, the retail price will be very expensive. Apart from the price, tradition also plays a role in determining which form of packaging is in use locally. If a pipe smoker is used to buying tobacco in tins, he himself will keep that tradition alive. Let us take a closer look at the two main types of packaging we use here at Mac Baren:
	Mac Baren pouches The tobacco pouch consists of a piece of printed paper enclosed in plastic foil. The printed paper is for the purpose of giving information about the tobacco contained in the pouch, while the plastic foil provides protection against the tobacco losing its moisture too quickly. But let us make one point clear: there is no “correct” level of moisture. Because here, too, pipe smokers differ. Some pipe smokers prefer their tobacco to be as dry as possible, while others gain greater pleasure from a tobacco that is moister. When we pack the tobacco, we ensure that the moisture level is between 12% and 14 %, which we consider optimal. In order to retain the moisture in the tobacco as long as possible, all Mac Baren tobacco pouches are heat-sealed. By the time the tobacco leaves the factory, we have done all we can to ensure that the tobacco you find on the shelves of your local tobacconist is optimal in every respect. A little tip on how to quickly determine the moisture level of the tobacco is to carefully squeeze the tobacco pouch. If the tobacco pouch feels flexible (yields to the pressure), the tobacco is still at the optimal moisture level.
	If, on the other hand, the tobacco pouch feels hard, then the moisture content is below the optimal level. The tobacco pouch fulfils the pipe smoker's wish to be able to take his tobacco with him while still keeping it optimally stored.
					Mac Baren tins The tobacco is the same, regardless of whether it is packed in a pouch or a tin. Only the packaging differs. A tobacco tin is very different from a tobacco pouch. First, a tin holds roughly twice as much tobacco as a pouch. Because of the size of the tin, it is not so easy to take it with you compared to a pouch because it is not a perfect “pocket size”. Second, you can be certain that when you open a new tin, the tobacco is as fresh as when it was packed at Mac Baren. How is it done? First, 100 g of tobacco is weighed and placed in the bottom of the tin. The paper roundel is then folded over to protect the tobacco and finally the lid is put on. All the way round the inside edge of the lid is a rubber membrane and when we complete the packing process by extracting about 40% of the air out of the tin, the membrane ensures that the vacuum created remains inside the tin. Consequently the moisture level in the tobacco does not change for a long time – decades, in fact. The tobacco does not lose its moisture until the tin is opened or the rubber membrane begins to degrade (after many years). So as well as looking attractive, a tin offers the major advantage that unopened it keeps the tobacco fresh for many years.
	Is the level of moisture in the tobacco important? As a pipe smoker, you should be aware that the drier the tobacco is the better it burns and the higher the temperature will be in the pipe. This has a significant effect on the taste, as a high temperature makes the tobacco seem stronger and it loses some of its aromatic nuances. On the other hand, a lower temperature gives the pipe smoker a milder taste and more aroma. So which level of moisture is the “right” one? The only correct answer to this question is that you are the only one who can judge the level of moisture you think the tobacco should contain to give the best taste experience. Have you ever come across a tobacco you had forgotten you had and found that it was completely dried out? And thought: what do I do now? Many pipe smokers would attempt to moisten the tobacco again – with greater or lesser luck. Over the years I have heard many different explanations of how best to moisten tobacco. These range from spraying water directly onto the tobacco to placing a slice of potato in the tobacco pouch and allowing the tobacco to absorb the moisture from the potato. There are also humidifiers that can be saturated with water and placed in the tobacco. Given time, tobacco will absorb moisture, but it can be a slow process. My personal preference is the solution we use here at Mac Baren, which is to apply steam to the tobacco.

Stiri din lumea vinului

Start pentru Concursul International de Vinuri - Bucuresti 2007Astazi a inceput cea de-a patra editie a Concursului International de Vinuri, eveniment aflat sub patronajul Organizatiei Intrenationale Vitivinicole (OIV) si organizat de catre Patronatul National al Viei si Vinului (PNVV), impreuna cu Asociatia Degustatorilor Autorizati din Romania (ADAR).http://www.vinul.ro/stiri_concurs_national_vinuri.htmlVinurile medaliate la Vinvest 2007 nu se gasesc pe raftVinurile care au primit medalii in cadrul editiei de anul acesta a "Salonului International de Vinuri - Vinvest", eveniment ce s-a desfasurat la Timisoara in luna aprilie, nu se gasesc pe rafturile magazinelor. Una dintre explicatiile date de producatori ar fi faptul ca multe dintre vinurile medaliate sunt vinuri produse in 2005 - 2006, care nu au fost inca imbuteliate la sticla pentru a fi expuse pe piata.http://www.vinul.ro/stiri_vinuri_medaliate_vinvest.htmlRomania, semifinalista la “Best Sommelier of the World"In perioada 18-21 mai a avut loc pe insula Rhodos, Grecia, cea de-a XII-a editie a concursului "Best Sommelier of the World", manifestare ce desemneaza o data la trei ani cel mai bun somelier din lume. Romania a fost reprezentata de Doru Dumitrescu, somelierul roman numarandu-se printre semifinalistii concursului.http://www.vinul.ro/stiri_best_sommelier_of_the_world.htmlCramele Halewood, "mecena" tinerilor pictori romaniCompania Cramele Halewood se implica pentru al patrulea an consecutiv in demersul cultural "Pictori de azi la Balcic", in semn de pretuire pentru spiritul artistic romanesc, aflat in cautarea inspiratiei in acest teritoriu unic, surprins in panzele tablourilor de artisti fascinati la randul lor de farmecul locului.http://www.vinul.ro/stiri_halewood_pictori_romani.html

EVENIMENTE

Medalii romanesti la CMB 2007Vinurile romanesti au reusit sa obtina patru medalii la editia de anul acesta a Concours Mondial de Bruxelles, cel mai mare concurs de vinuri si spirtoase din lume. Romania a obtinut o medalie de aur si trei de argint: Tamaioasa de Cotnari 2005 a obtinut Medalia de aur, iar vinurile Chardonnay 3 Hectare Murfatlar, Chardonnay - Sole de Recas 2006 si Byzantium Rosso di Valachia 2005 au fost distinse cu Medalii de argint. Producatorii din Romania au inscris in concurs 41 de vinuri si doua spirtoase.http://www.vinul.ro/evenimente_medalii_romanesti_cmb_2007.html>> CMB 2007 - Maastricht, o Mecca a vinurilorTimp de trei zile, Centrul de Conferinte si Expozitii din Maastricht, Olanda, a fost inundat de un veritabil ocean de vinuri: 5.735 de vinuri din 47 de tari, analizate de 220 de degustatori din 45 de tari. Cea de-a XIV-a editie a Concours Mondial de Bruxelles a avut toate ingredientele pentru a primi distinctia pentru cel mai important concurs de vinuri din lume: numar record de probe intrate in concurs, un juriu atent selectionat format din oenologi, specialisti, somelieri si jurnalisti, o atmosfera propice degustarii vinului si un serviciu ireprosabil, asigurat de elevii Scolii de Sommelieri din Lausanne, cea mai mare institutie de acest fel din lume.http://www.vinul.ro/evenimente.html>> Vinvest 2007, un succes fara 5 producatori importantiCinci dintre cei mai mari producatori de vinuri din Romania nu au participat la editia de anul acesta a Salonului International de Vinuri Vinvest, eveniment desfasurat la Timisoara.

Mac Baren - THE RIGHT FLAVOUR

Many smokers of pipe tobacco believe that the use of flavours is a relatively recent phenomenon but in point of fact the first use of flavours in tobacco dates back several hundred years. Sailors were the first to come up with the idea of putting their tobacco inside barrels of rum. They did so as to preserve the moisture of the tobacco only to discover that the remnants of the rum flavour left in the barrel were absorbed by the tobacco. The tobacco taste was suddenly quite different. Since then, the process of flavouring has been refined but tradition nonetheless continues to play an important part in the flavouring process.

The flavour of pipe tobacco is far from a random science. A great deal of conscious thought and testing goes into every pipe tobacco we make. Broadly speaking, there are three factors that affect the flavour of pipe tobacco.

The first and most important factor is the natural aromatics of the tobacco. The selection of tobaccos also has a direct impact on the final flavour. The art is to select different tobaccos whose individual aromas complement one another and combine to give a balanced flavour. In simple terms, this means that the individual aromas are good on their own, but correctly blended they combine to produce a taste experience that exceeds that of each individual flavour.

The second consideration is to accentuate the natural aromatics and add nuances of taste. Exactly how this is achieved is described in the section “Casing – Enhancing the pipe tobacco taste”.

The third and final factor affecting the taste of a pipe tobacco is the correct flavour. It is during this phase that we are able to influence the taste and aroma of the finished pipe tobacco. When a pipe tobacco tastes of vanilla, for example, it is due to the flavour we have added. Naturally, it is not a question of simply adding vanilla to the tobacco so that we end up with a tobacco with a vanilla flavour. Our vanilla flavoured tobacco is an excellent example of just how complex it is to develop the right taste. If pure vanilla is used, the flavour will be too sweet; so sweet in fact that the enjoyment for the pipe tobacco smoker is lost and the aroma experienced by other people will give rise to negative comments.

In 1999, when we began to develop Mac Baren Vanilla Cream, we were very conscious of the fact that pure vanilla can prove overwhelming. Our task, therefore, was to adjust the flavour so that it fulfilled the desire of the pipe smoker for vanilla without becoming overly sweet. Using various fruit flavours, we were able to reduce the sweetness without negatively impacting on the natural taste of vanilla. It sounds simple when you use just a few lines to describe the process, but in actual fact this adjustment process comprised repeated testing over a period of several months. The difficulty of developing the right flavour can be compared to that of developing a perfume aroma. A combination of numerous flavour nuances have to be perfectly balanced before the taste is just right - and the right taste is only achieved when all the elements fit. Raw tobacco, casing and flavour – each on its own directly affects the final taste - and together they provide optimal enjoyment.

Once the right blend of flavours has been found, these are mixed with pure alcohol and we are now left with a flavour mix which can be added to the tobacco. The flavour mix is atomised and the tobacco is rotated through this “flavour mist”. We do not want the flavour to rest on the surface, however. We want it to be absorbed into the tobacco itself. The alcohol acts as a flavour carrier and ensures that it is absorbed by the tobacco. This process takes place during subsequent maturing and once it has performed its task, the alcohol completely evaporates. The tobacco now contains the three important elements that combine to make pipe tobacco smoking such a pleasurable experience.
