If you want good flavors, the time is your friend.. 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 years...
Time is (of course) our friend, but it won t transform a tasteless leaf into a good one

I've grown a dark virginian strain this year, still curing it... I'll tell you If it's stronger tasting compared to bright Va in a couple of months. It is supposed to be stronger tasting than usual bright leaf.

I've grown a lot of flue cure varieties and they just do not taste sweet when they are air cured. Some are better than others though. Virginia Brightleaf is what I would grow if I had to air cure. You should consider sun curing your flue cured types. It won't be as sweet as a flue cured (processed) but it'll be much better than air curing it.
I am planning on trying a dark viriginia too next year
I look forward to hearing what you think of it
I have saved seeds, If you want some PM your address and i'll send you some as soon as they're ready

They are two very different variants (if you ask me) I like them both in oral-snuff.Hello Alpine,
Which dark virginian strain have you planted ?
I will soon order some seeds from northwoodseeds.com, I was interested in a dark virignia, but I didn't know which strain to choose... I've read "bolivian criollo black" was a good one so I think it will be a part of my order
If your strain is different I am interested, but don't feel compeled to send me some
(I'll send you a MP)
Thanks
Goose creek red, and it's been the most productive strain i've grown so far. Good uniformity, fairly big leaves, easy to manage since it has few suckers. Even primed at less than ideal ripeness, it cures well with no green spots but it takes longer to cure than bright leafs. If it tastes good, it's definitely a keeper IMO.

"Bigbonner" was putting up a video clip of "Silver river Burley" this is very similar to "Bolivian black criollo" in my grow Silver river grow higher but needed more time from seed to ready tobacco so I decided to save "Bolivian black" some people talk about a mint taste in em both, other apples, I can't tell what fruit I think about but you make Wine Of it.. But remember I ain't smoking the tobacco..
I think you will like it. But I really most ask, do you say Grape"Bolivian black criollo" is on my list !
I will order it from skychaser soon (as soon as my list is ready, I started this thread to refine my list )

or Wine-Grape, that is by the way the thing I feeling in the taste..
