Tobacco is a versatile crop, with each variety offering unique characteristics that make it suitable for different products. At Elum Tobacco, we specialize in growing three main types of tobacco: Flue Cured Virginia (F.C.V), Light Air-Cured Burley, and Sun Cured Rustica. Each of these types has its own distinct qualities, making them ideal for specific uses in the tobacco industry.
Flue Cured Virginia (F.C.V) is known for its smooth, rich flavor and balanced nicotine content. It is a favorite in cigarette production due to its natural sweetness, which is carefully preserved during the curing process.
Light Air-Cured Burley tobacco, on the other hand, is characterized by its mild nicotine profile and low sugar content. This variety undergoes a unique air-curing process that enhances its natural flavors, making it an essential ingredient in many tobacco blends.
Sun Cured Rustica tobacco, also known as White Patta, is known for its bold, robust flavor and high nicotine content. This variety is sun-cured to perfection, preserving its strong, earthy notes, making it perfect for creating full-bodied tobacco products.
At Elum Tobacco, we take pride in growing these varieties with the utmost care and precision, ensuring that our products meet the highest standards of quality.
