    Bright, Yellow, Lemon Virginias - Differences?

    "Flavorless" Virginia won't become "Flavor" Virginia, at least via curing process. That yellow "flavorless" Virginias are coming from lower stalks of the plant, "Flavor" Virginias on the other hand are ripe leaves from upper stalks with more sugar and nicotine content.

    Bright, Yellow, Lemon Virginias - Differences?

Tobaccos cured by this method are called flue-cured variety, although technically speaking it is...

    Bright, Yellow, Lemon Virginias - Differences?

    Basically it is flue-cured tobacco or bright-leaf tobacco or as we call it Virginia. The longer you cure it, the darker gets the color of the leaf. From farmer's point of view, it is just flue-cured tobacco, from marketing point of view it may be bright, yellow, lemon, gold, etc.

    Tobacco Curing In A Barn In Tennessee

    It is air-cured tobacco (either light or dark), so it can be Burley, Maryland or cigar tobacco. I also found this: "Tobacco is grown in sixty-six of the state’s ninety-five counties. Burley tobacco is grown in all of these sixty-six counties, with eight counties producing dark fired tobacco"

    ChatGPT

    Due to my location, I can't access ChatGPT, however I am using Write Sonic sometimes. It summarizes long emails for me, very useful I would say. The other day I asked it to write a cigar review with some keywords I have provided and it did an excellent job.

    Why Does Harry Whine So Much?

    When I see Godwin's Law in action, I realize that it is time lock the thread. FYI: Godwin's law, also known as Godwin's rule of Hitler analogies, is a statement maintaining that if any online discussion continues long enough, someone will almost certainly compare someone else to Hitler.
