Flue-cured Virginia tobacco, which is also known as Virginia Tobacco or Bright Leaf, is a type of tobacco that is cured using supplemental heat. Originally the heat was supplied into the curing barn via flue pipes (from which the name Flue-Cured Tobacco is derived) that heated the air to cure and dry the leaves. FCV tobacco plants commonly have leaves that are darker green in color during growth, due to a high chlorophyll content, and thicker compared to Burley, but normally lighter in color and thinner than Dark Fire-Cured and Dark Air-Cured tobacco types. FCV tobacco leaves are harvested by priming, where individual leaves are removed from the growing plant as they mature and ripen in the field. Harvested leaves are placed onto sticks or encased into racks or boxes for curing. As the leaves lose their moisture during curing, they develop their sweet aroma, texture, and color. Cured leaves typically range in color from a light yellow to a dark orange. FCV is mostly used in cigarettes, Roll-Your-Own (RYO), and Make-Your-Own (MYO) products, but may be utilized in other manufactured tobacco products as well.

Indian Burley Tobacco
Burley is a type of Light Air-Cured tobacco typically cured in ventilated barns under natural atmospheric conditions with little to no supplemental heat added – only air. Burley is the second most popular tobacco type grown around the world. In general, Burley tobacco leaves are lighter green in color during growth, due to a lower chlorophyll content, and thinner compared to most other air-cured tobaccos and Flue-Cured tobacco types. Burley tobacco can either be primed harvested where individual leaves are removed from the growing plant as they mature and ripen in the field, or stalk-cut harvested where the entire plant is harvested at once by cutting the plant’s stalk at ground level with the leaves attached to the stalk. Burley curing takes between three to twelve weeks and results in light tan to reddish-brown leaf color. Burley is most commonly used in American blend cigarettes, Roll-Your-Own (RYO), and Make-Your-Own (MYO) products, but may be utilized in other manufactured tobacco products as well.
