 VIRGINIA Virginia is the most extensive worldwide variety and corresponds to consumer evolution towards so-called American-blend smoking products. In France, it represents 50 % of the total production of leaf tobacco. Cured in ovens, Virginia requires an elaborate technique and is suited to plantations of larger surface areas where seasonal labour is required. The distinctive style of the French production is its “neutral and light” character, much sought after by industrialists.
