Rusty, the site even you referenced had no definitive terms that said "curing equals varietal." It said most varietals are cured (X) way. It was the "Period" statement I was kind of raising an eyebrow to.
The government can classify whatever it wants however it wants, likely because it's only slightly less confusing that tobacco culture and terms. :lol: Not liking the competition, they just made a "law," dusted off their hands and called it good.
I'm certainly not saying you're wrong overall, I'm leaving room open for that. Apparently we just interpret things differently.
One way this could be solved is by showing me growers that simply buy a big bag of "tobacco seed," with no specific name on it what so ever, and then cure it in a particular way, and then miraculously have different products they refer to as Virginia, Burley, Perique, etc. Than I'd believe you.
