Virginia 20+40 SOLO

Virginia

Undoubtedly the best-known and oldest variety of tobacco. Sir Walter Raleigh gave his name to this tobacco, which was first cultivated in the English colony of the same name, named in honour of Queen Elizabeth II: the Virgin Queen. ‘SOLO’ arrived in Italy later, thanks to a trend set by Prince Amedeo of Savoy, so much so that his likeness is depicted on cigar boxes.

Virginia has a wide range of cultivars, often named after their growing region, though the leaf processing methods also set them apart. Generally, it is very aromatic and sweetish, with light green or yellowish leaves when ready for harvest. It is unquestionably one of the most widely used tobaccos in cigarette production and a key component in many pipe blends.

It has aromatic characteristics, which can be complex in the finest cultivars; it does not have a strong taste, and for this reason its aroma is considered one of the classic ‘all-day’ flavours for e-cigarette users.

This flavour is extracted from a ‘Virginia’ FCV. Let’s find out what this abbreviation stands for: ‘Flue Cured’ Virginia, the classification of which is regulated in Europe by the EXPLANATORY NOTES TO THE COMBINED NOMENCLATURE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION (2015/C 076/01) of 4 March 2015:

“‘flue-cured’ tobacco of the ‘Virginia’ type, tobacco which has been dried with hot air under artificial atmospheric conditions by means of a process regulating heating and ventilation, so that the smoke does not come into contact with the tobacco leaves; the colour of the dried tobacco normally varies from lemon yellow to very dark orange or red. Other colours and colour combinations often result from varying degrees of ripeness or from cultivation or curing techniques”
