Looks similar to the the ones, in this thread, http://fairtradetobacco.com/threads...co-or-what-is-it?p=73043&viewfull=1#post73043 but much bigger flowers,and leaves, probabley due to better conditions,...
The white flowers, from what I understand rule out rustica, but it may be the nicotina.tobbacam. There is no doubt in my mind they are some sort of tobacco,...I would cure some of the leaves, and try it, nice big leaves, healthy looking plants.
The leaves look a lot like the leaves on my Bursa, though,..too,..Where did you find these,..?

Wow those white flowers are totally throwing me off, the rule out so much.
You can hop over to the grin though and sort by white flower that will narrow things down considerably, and with the new pictures might even narrow it to less than 10

The only white flower tobaccos I've grown are Canik, Huehuetenango or Guatemalan (I'd have to check my records to make sure). Also the tobacco called "White Flower" has white flowers.. go figure.

the only way I know to search grin is this http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npg...shtitle&si=0&.cgifields=si&.cgifields=reverse how do I sort them?
It's difficult to tell from the photos. If there is the slightest hint of pink in the blossoms, then I would consider them pink. The plant appears to be Nicotiana tabacum, from the shape of the flowers. The leaves are somewhat stunted, since there was little or no sucker control. The leaf shape is sessile, with angular, nearly square secondary veins. The surface is what I would consider not puckered, and the margins are not distinctly rippled, and are without recurve. The stem angle appears to be between 30 and 70º. Flower head habit is open.
Could be a burley or a Havana variety or, most likely (from the exposed blossoms) a non-identifiable hybrid. Where are these? How have they been cultivated over the years? Who maintains them? Are they near a commercial planting, a home garden, or just random plants?

Nicotiana tabacum, yea, that's what I meant but mispelled it horribley
,....sorry
Bob's right. If the flower heads were never bagged last year, or the year before that, there's no telling what cross that might be. Honey bees can carry pollen from tobacco as far as 2.5-3 miles and pollinate another variety in a patch you never knew was there. Or from a patch you never knew was there. If the seed heads are not bagged, it could be a cross of anything.
