CHEWING TOBACCO (KHAINE) (KUBER AND SWAGATH TYPE)

The use of tobacco originated in America, and the name is probably derived from the original work used to describe the pipes employed by the carile Indians for smoking the weed. Tobacco is said to have been introduced into India in the beginning of 17th century. As else where in the world, It has thrived inspite of considerable neglect and social disapproal.

The genus Nicotiana is one of the five large genera of solanaceae, and is represented by about 60 recognised speceis. Out of the 60 species only two species Nicotiana tabacum and Nicotiana rustica most popular and are used in different ways. There is no variely that is grown appreciably to any extent either for chewing or for snuff and usually the same variety is consumed in a number of forms. Thus the “Monnakappal” “Olsikappal” “Vettakappal” and Yerumaikappal varieties grown in the districts of madurai, Tiruchirapalli and Coimbatore of Tamil Nadu, the Desi variety grown in Bihar and used in hookah, the Desi tobacco of Assam and U.P. and Jati of west Bengal are also for chewing. The kali chopadia and Jueli tobaccos of Gujrat area are also largely used for chewing and snuff. Generally leaf with medium to thick texture and pungent aroma is selected for chewing and snuff colour plays a less important part, but for snuffs darker coloured leaf is sellected presumably as an indication of strength.

There are, however, certain varieties which are mostly used for chewing and snuff, eg puchakkad tobacco, the leaves of which are dark brown and medium in texture grown is S. Kanara district of Karnataka. Nicotiana rustica, leaves of `Motihari’ grown in West Bengal, of Vilayaati in Assam and Bihar and Kolkata in Punjab and U.P, which are well developed thick in texture with bitter aroma and biting tast, are selected for chewing and snuff.
