Flu-Cured Tobacco- This original variety in which the strains of flu-cured tobacco are derived is called Virginia Orinoco because of its origin in the state of Virginia. The Orinoco variety is known to be the oldest in existence. It can be distinguished from other varieties because of its wide spacing of the leaves on the stalk. The White-Stem Orinoco seems to be the best for cigarette production.Variations of Tobacco
