I was recently gifted seeds of Vuelto Abajo. I was interested in the days to maturity and nicotine content so I did a GRIN search for "Vuelto Abajo" and I received 7 hits. Among these hits were listed 3 varieties of Vuelto Abajo: Habano, Canario and 3 hits that did not specify a name. Are all seven accession numbers referring to the same tobacco, or are there really seven different variations of Vuelta Abajo? I have done searches for many heirloom varieties and they come up as a single result. I know that the information on GRIN is not always trust worthy, but it least it provides an approximation. For all seven listings, there was not any "observations" link to get this information anyway. In the long run, as long as my tobacco turns out well, then I am not very concerned as to the variety. Just wondering why all the hits? If a sample was submitted to GRIN, then why submit another sample to the list. Does GRIN create an entry for each submission regardless of whether a sample has already been recorded? I admit that I rely on GRIN more than I should.
