Anyone have any info on Foreheimer Gundertheimes lll ?

[Jitterbugdude]

Just wondering, there does not seem to be much info about this strain. Anyone have anything besides what GRIN has to say?

As I recall, Don sent me a sample of that leaf some time ago. Large, thick leaves. Air-cured to a medium brown. Okay as a filler. Makes decent binder and wrapper.

The Foreheimer name is familiar, but the rest of it isn't.

Here's the one I grew several years ago.
Forcheimer FO TI 1486 Observations

That must be the one I sampled.

Here's all that I can find:
Geudertheimer III is listed by gbis.ipk-gatersleben as a Havana variety.
Forchheimer is also listed as a Havana variety there.
Note the spelling.

Forchheimer nicotine-free tobacco

For Cigar Filler
Forchheimer 1 (Geudertheimer)
Forchheimer 2 (Havana)
Forchheimer 3 NF (New-Geudertheimer, nicotine-free)
Forchheimer 4 (Goundie)

The varieties listed are from the post-war period that there's not any more. "Forchheimer 3 NF" (New Geudertheimer, nicotine-free) was once breeding stock for the current Geudertheimer, the Forchheimer have experimented quite a bit with reduced nicotine varieties.

I believe the NF designation (nicotinfrei) indicates specifically the nicotine-free strains.

So it sounds like this is a nicotine free filler?

I'm not sure, but I don't think so.
