What makes tobacco “light”?

194 views

I understand that blue/silver/gold are the lighter colour and I read that it’s due to the filter but I have seen roll your own tobacco that’s coloured. How is the tobacco lighter if you buy the filter separately?

So, I have experimented with a large variety of nicotine products but I am far from a tobacconist. I buy whole leaf tobacco and make my own blends to make my cigarettes and my snus. There are many, types of tobacco with different flavor profiles and nicotine contents and different processing techniques to get a desired product.
As others have said there are different cigarette filters that contribute to a cigarette being “light” but the blend of the tobacco also contributes. A light blend usually has less darker tobacco’s and more “bright” leaf tobaccos and oriental tobaccos from what I understand, someone feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.
