It's nice to hear that some chefs are exploring the flavor profile that tobacco can contribute. I have always considered tobacco to be a member of the gastronomic "family", not a drug or a stand-alone recreational activity. Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of tobacco users are unconcerned with the taste experience and are merely seeking a nicotine fix. If we can separate oenophilia from alcoholism, why is it so hard to legitimize gustatory tobaccophilia from chronic nicotinism?
