Hi,

I've seen the word Burley a dozen times up till now but I still do not know what it means. Is a kind of tobacco or is it a type of processed/processing?

Any info would be great since Wikipedia wasn't that helpful.

all baccy can be air cured,,, allthough some strains are better if flue/fire cured,

depends on what your going to use it for,

THEM CIGAR SMOKERS like to go to extremes to make the perfect cigar,
