Dark Leaf Tobacco vs. Blonde Leaf Tobacco
Dark leaf tobacco, also known as black leaf, is unwashed and cured with molasses. It has greater nicotine content, primarily because the leaves are not washed or rinsed. Blonde leaf tobacco, also known as golden leaf, is washed or rinsed after harvest and it is cured with honey. The washing or rinsing reduces the nicotine content in blonde leaf tobacco. There are several other differences caused directly due by the distinct processing or production techniques.
