It's too difficult to type "because", though not to type "?????????".

I catch myself wanting to take shortcuts in the forum, like afaik (as far as I know) because I post using a phone, and using a phone extensively for communication lends one to these habits. I didn't say bad habits because that would imply either a cultural value or an explicit forum rule regarding abbreviations.
So when @Torcedormike89 uses bc as because, I get it.

I see. I dig it. Now I guess there is the question of tooth and, how "it can be done"?
In an international forum, such as FTT, abbreviations can sometimes be a translation problem. (When I studied typing in high school, there was no chapter on using only thumbs.)
From 2012.
The presence of "tooth", so far as I have been able to determine, is a tobacco variety characteristic. I'm sure that different methods of finishing a toothy wrapper can enhance or diminish its visibility. But I suspect that varieties that have no "tooth" can not be made toothy. I believe tooth derives from the physical configuration of the residual lamina trichomes.

Those look "A-OK" MarcL - now we can both feel hipThat is why I query? Its an is not a do? dying to know. I can wait.
So tooth would be the more pubescent tobacco varieties? I'm not familiar with the term. What characteristics does tooth impart, is it more of a flavor or a physical property?

What Makes Some Cigar Wrappers "Toothy?"
When a cigar's wrapper is described as being "toothy," it's describing the cigar's outward appearance. Learn what toothy means, and why you'll like it.

As you know, @plantdude, (others may not) pubescent refers to "fuzz" on the upper leaf surface. That is, hair-like trichome structures. N. rustica tends to be more pubescent than N. tabacum, and among the latter, dark air/fire varieties tend to be noticeably sticky to the touch--a result of increased trichome density.
There is no doubt that trichome density as well as trichome prominence varies among tobacco varieties. But Sumatra leaf is not particularly pubescent, yet tends to be quite toothy.

The actual tobacco variety called African Cameroon is derived from Sumatra Deli leaf.

Yes there are only 5 true varieties

Sumatra

There are well over 3000 named varieties of just Nicotiana tabacum. They are all the same species. There is a genetic difference between every named variety and every other named variety, though within a stable variety, there is practically no heterogeneity.
I would welcome citations of the research upon which your statements are based.
