[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 273334"] I'd be kind of surprised if the basic info wasn't embedded in the common accounts like that one. Yellow/bright Virginia is flue-cured : dried quickly so that the sap doesn't have time to undergo the changes it ordinarily would in drying slowly (especially the natural sugars present in it). That produces a light, grassy/hay-like sweetness. Red Virginia is air cured. Still sweet, but differently, with more mid-range content. Dark Virginias are pressed -- sometimes stoved &/or steamed as well. Essentially cooked. :face: [/QUOTE]
