Reading through the forum over the last couple of days I have come across reference to the two tobaccos mentioned in the title. The first, "Green River Burley" was mentioned by Don as a very high nicotine content...7% give or take...tobacco. Searching all over the internet, I cannot find a listing anywhere for "Green River Burley". Is it a common burley that just happens to be grown near some Green River, or is it an actual named variety?
The second, "Lonnie's Havana" appears to be an unintentional cross of Havana and something else. It looks quite leafy and very productive, which is why it caught my eye. I am considering other varieties for next year...my Shirey is growing well and I am learning alot as the season progresses, but it appears to me to be a rather sparse yielder. Since I am space limited, I'd like to find a quality tobacco that is also a heavy producer with a decent nic kick as well. Are seeds for these two tobaccos available anywhere?
