flue cured burley

[grgfinney]

I was visiting BrownThumb the other day and checking out his nice neat grow and his baccy and came across some flue cured one sucker and I will tell you it was excellent if you like a full flavor smoke it may be a stand alone or maybe add just enough virginia to improve the burn.very smooth med high nicotine if I grow next year I will add it the my list.Has anyone one else flue cured other kinds of burley? What were your findings?

One Sucker is classed as a Dark Air Cured. http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/acc/display.pl?1446226

Ok thanks thought it was a burley I hope my shirey turns out that good

I'm growing Shirey too. I have high hopes for it. I'm wanting something to equal the Dark Air that Don sells. I'm using 10% Dark Air in my cigarette blend. It really adds a new flavor dimension with the Maryland.

Can anyone identify the origins of Shirey? I was always under the impression the name was bastardized for Shirazi...a Turkish/Oriental type. Shirey is in the seed bank because it was donated as such.

Shirey is a darker Virginia variety with a high yield. I believe it used to be (maybe still is) a commercially grown variety.

I've heard of dark fired burley. I imagine it is very high nicoteen.
