[QUOTE="Rusty, post: 203471, member: 1187"] Ok lets start at the beginning. 1) Yes there are plant varietals identified as seed types that are used in the various belts to produce tobaccos that are intended for those curing techniques. The seed intended to produce Va's are different than the seeds for Burley. Are we ok still? I'm not saying that all the tobaccos start from the same common seed. They don't. Nor did the quote. 2) But as the quote said "Yet, each type of tobacco is generally defined by the curing method applied to it." It didn't say there is common seed. It said that tobacco ie that is used in blends, is defined by the curing technique. So our common familiar names eg Virginia, white Burley, Dark burley etc etc are all familiar names for a curing technique. That the farmer chooses a seed that is intended for that curing technique is true. 3) So it's not Virginia unless it is flue cured. Virginia is a familiar name for flue cured tobacco. That the farmer actually selects a seed that will produce a plant that is worth flue curing is presumed. Nothing here denies that. You brought in seeds. I didn't. We're not farmers. So tell me if you air cure tobacco leaves that were grown from seed intended to be flue cured. What do you have? [/QUOTE]
