Real Tobacco Leaf is a big commodity worldwide, but of all the ways that it is cured for use in various products, it’s tough to compete with . This tobacco is achieved by hanging tobacco leaves in large barns and utilizing hot air to dry the leaves and remove a lot of their natural moisture. This process creates higher levels of nicotine along with higher sugar content making it extremely desirable. In fact, flue cured tobacco makes up 90% of all tobacco that is produced annually in the United States. At Total Leaf Supply, we carry four types of flue cured tobacco that all boast different qualities and are listed in this flue cured buyers guide.
What Makes Each Type Different?
Virginia Flue Cured Lemon Leaf (BL)
Lemon-yellow color, medium body, and a firm leaf structure make up our Virginia Flue Cured Lemon Leaf. The BL distinction means that the leaves are pulled from the top section of the stalk. This is our most popular flue cured tobacco!
Virginia Flue Cured (BK)
Our Virginia Flue Cured (BK) consists of orange or red leaves with some minor leaf defects and a heavier leaf structure overall. BK-grade tobacco is typically a more affordable option.
Virginia Flue Cured (BF)
Denoted by its BF grading, you can expect to see an orange hue to the leaves, fewer defects or ground damage, and a heavier leaf structure.
Virginia Flue Cured Orange Leaf (BFR)
Deep medium-orange color, firm leaf structure, and citrusy aroma describe these above-mid-section tobacco leaves.
