The generic names of tobacco associated with states include Virginia, that is actually also grown
in other states, nations and on other continents. Kentucky often refers to burley, and
Dark Fired Kentucky to dark fired burley. I know of only a few blends that refer to Carolina,
like McClellands Deluxe Carolina 805, which could be either North or South Carolina. I know
Carolina has always grown major amounts of cigarette tobacco, but I'm sure that they supply
Virginia and maybe some burley leaf for pipes. Any of you tobacco historians know how
North Carolina got sidelined in most of the tobacco leaf naming rights?
