Interesting site. The varieties are mostly specific to India, but the principals of curing and the methods are applicable to tobacco in most locations.

I found the flue curing interesting.
Ripe leaf breaking the leaves off sideways V/S Down and leaf tip up when harvesting.
I will try it this way this year.
