The Use of Flavcffngs Determines Difference In Brands The Encyclopedia Britannic says about the manufacture of smoking tobacco: "... on the Continent and in America, certain 'sauces' are employed .. .the use of the 'sauces' is to improve i j t 124.1 e 4U? ine navour ana ouming quauura vi mc leaves." Which indicates that a smoker's enjoyment depends as much upon the flavoring used as upon the tobacco. Your nose is a sure guide in the mat' ter of flavorings. Try this simple test with several tobacco brands: pour some tobacco into your palm, rub briskly, and smell. You will notice a distinct difference in the fragrance of every brand.
