When you say "shade tobacco," do you mean big tobacco plants grown for ornament and shade?

Do tobacco plants smell? I love the way tobacco smells, especially in a pouch ready to be put into a pipe.

I think that smell is the artificial flavoring agents that are added to the tobacco.

Nope, it's a type of tobacco that is particularly prized for the wrapper layer of cigars.

"shade " refers to how it is grown. They are grown under trellised cloth.

Not sure what makes it special.
