Hi,
So some time ago I brought some Virginia and what was described as "Heirloom organic Yenidje" tobacco seeds off a seller on eBay and had them discreetly shipped to me in New Zealand, I've since grown them and even as seedlings I knew something was odd about this "Yenidje" stuff.
It looks to me to be a type of N. Rustica, but its quite tall for a N. Rustica at 5 feet, I'm a little disappointed to say the least I've cared for this stuff like it was my child hoping to get some tasty Yenidje for pipe tobacco blending.
Anyone have any ideas of what variety it could be ? It appears that the leaf changes from the crinkle appearance to smooth and yellowing around the ribs as it ripens ? Do you think its worth curing ? If so should I flue it or air cure it ?
Thank you for any help.
