Hey guys!
I was hoping that some of you here might be able to answer this for me. Is the Virginia tobacco of today the same as the "sweet-scented variety" that was cultivated in Virginia in the 17th century? From it's description as a milder and sweeter tobacco, it would seem that it is likely, but I can't find any resources that state that explicitly. The other option was the "Orinoco variety." Any of you guys have any insight on this? Thanks!
