This tobacco leaf is used mainly in American cigarette and pipe tobacco blends, but also sometimes in hookah. It has a wonderful smooth smoke with a great robust flavor. Spots or discolorations of Virginia Flue Cured leaves are normal and are no cause for concern. Also known as Golden Leaf Tobacco, Virginia Flue Cured Tobacco is one of the most commonly used tobacco leaves in the industry, as it is a major component in cigarette blends for almost every type of cigarette, and is used as hookah and pipe tobacco all over the world.

This tobacco leaf is also known as "Light Air Cured" for good reason since this is one of the smoothest Burleys ever seen and is commonly used as the counterpart of Virginia Flue Cured tobacco in most cigarette blends. The smell of this tobacco leaf is reminiscent of Maryland 609. This leaf has a smell and taste that is classic amongst high-quality Burley. Not only does our Burley taste wonderful, but the leaf smokes incredibly smoothly as well. This Burley is considered to be whole leaf and even though it may be a little broken here and there, that's common among the use of cigarette tobacco leaves as they are meant to be converted into RYO or pipe tobacco.
