Anyone ever heard of it? The Amish in Pennsylvania seem to grow their own tobacco on some scale, manufacturing it themselves and selling amongst them as cigars and pipe stuff. I like to know if some of it is used as snuff? And to which tobaccos theirs is compareble?

I’ve smoke Amish tobacco here in Ohio… I wasn’t all that impressed but it would have just been that particular tobacco so take it for what it’s worth. Last year a few Amish guys were working on the roof where I worked and when I went out for a pipe one of them said I should try some of the pipe tobacco that they grow. The next day he brought me a small bag of it… about the closest I can think of is Five Brothers if you put it in a dirty sock for a month… dry, hot and tasted like burning dirt. But like I said I wouldn’t take that as the gospel it was just the tobacco I tried. You might luck out and strike gold.

I seen some Amish chewing tobacco at my B&M, I wouldn’t waste my funds on it. I am 40 minutes from the heart of lancaster I had a cigar it was bad. But tobacco changes with the season you may get a good crop. Those Amish Are just about impossible to contact they don’t have phones or electric in their homes. @Kaiser_Wilhelm lives out that way; maybe he can acquire some for you. He hasn’t been active since Aug 2014 but ya never know.

I have no experience with Amish tobacco but I have had some grow your own before. It fails compared to other blends (in my limited experience) but one of the biggest reasons for it is that most crops are a single variety. To my knowledge all blends are just that, made up of more than one type of tobacco. That said Chef or Roderick could both probably speak more to this on a snuff level.

It’s probably the same varieties as grown in Maryland and Virginia, as that’s what grows best in this region. Probably a variety of Virginia Bright that has been barn-cured and uncased. I have a bag of the Amish Chewing Tobacco but I’ve been reluctant to open it. Probably leave it as is and resell it some day as “collectible” – An Amish cigar might be good, but probably a lot like Marsh-Wheeling Virginia stogies, which are consistent, easier to get, and guaranteed to taste good.
