Part of the backside is white and the other side is all Funkey colors where the white is.
This is the only leaf like that. Last of the crop hanging in the garage.
Anyone see this befor or know what it is,

It looks like sun burn . If the leaf cured green the sun more than likely caused the green . If the inside of the fold part did not turn white I would say sun burn .
Severe sun burn will turn the leaf thin and white .
From my limited experience with "white" tobacco, the leaf structure is usually compromised. Is there any way to control this phenomenon and maintain leaf structure?

Sounds like it you hit the nail on the head, I do not know how it would get sunburnt but then again I could have left it on top of the pile while picking, it is thin also as can be seen by the pics, breaks easily.
Thanks for the info,BigBonner

My experience is the opposite. Freezing renders the leaf significantly darker than usual. I intentionally froze some partially color cured leaf in order to test this. Also, about ten years ago, I grew one tobacco plant an did not harvest it. In spring, the leaves were still on the plant and they were a beautiful maduro, with oily sheen and elasticity. Too bad I had quit smoking at that time. I wish I had tried it; seems like a very easy way to cure tobacco: just don't pick it.
