Those are some nice varieties. You can also use those varieties to make your own homemeade Cavendish and Perique for even more blending opportunities.

Making Black Cavendish Pipe Tobacco

Black Cavendish is a style of tobacco processing that produces a mild, very dark tobacco, that can be used for pipe blending. Black Cavendish is notable for its ability to readily absorb added flavors for aromatic blends. Unflavored, it also makes a wonderful blender when mixed with stronger...

Pure Tobacco Pipe Blends You Can Make

While some varieties of tobacco can be enjoyable when smoked straight in a pipe, the flavor horizon can be broadened by simple blending of contrasting varieties and cure-methods. My goal in this thread is to present some pipe blends that do not use casing of any kind. [Practically all...

i like a sweater smoke so are there any cigar tobacco strains that are sweet? iam willing to grow 2/3 varieties for cigar and if you do recommend some varieties can you please tell me how much does each plant produce in dried weight. iam planning to make like 2 boxes so like 40 Lonsdale or Churchhill. i plan to buy seeds for cigarettes and pipe too so maybe i can use them too (i posted the seeds in my previous post). any and all help is much appreciated!

From the New Growers' FAQ:
"How many plants should I grow?
Depending on the variety, you can expect 100 to 200 cigarettes per plant; 6 to 12 corona-size cigars per plant; 2 to 5 ounces of pipe tobacco per plant. Most tobacco requires about 3.75 sq. ft. in a deeply dug bed. In traditional row planting, it is spaced 3 feet within the row, with 4 feet between rows. The curing space required is about 0.5 to 1 sq. ft. per plant, hung in a single tier. (see "Air Curing" below)"
