From what I understand, this is an old heirloom variety from the late 1800's It a great cigarette tobacco when it's primed and equally as good for a cigar filler when stalk cured.
YTB is an early harvest plant, so it should be a first choice for northern climates. Since it's a white stem Burley, it's very easy to cure. I've never noticed any problem with disease in this plant. The only precaution is to make sure you space he plants at least 30" apart in 30" rows. 36" apart and 42" rows would be best.
