bright leaf
Virginia tobacco variety
Bright leaf is a type of flue-cured tobacco with a golden-yellow color, grown primarily in the American South.
The name refers to the distinctive light hue produced by the curing process, which uses heated air rather than smoke or sun.
Bright leaf became the foundation of the modern cigarette industry: North Carolina built its economy on bright leaf tobacco.
