S. Types 11, 12, 13, 14. Burley tobacco U. S. Type 31. Southern Maryland tobacco U. S. Type 32. U. S. Type 11 is produced in the Piedmont Belt of Virginia and part of North Carolina. U. S. Type 12 is produced in eastern North Carolina. U. S. Type 13 grows in South Carolina. U. S. Type 14 is produced mostly in southern Georgia— a few million pounds in north ern Florida and Alabama. U. S. Type 31 includes what is called White Burley tobacco. It was first produced by George Webb in 1864. It is light in color and body, and is milder than the Burley used for pipes. U. S. Type 32, Maryland tobacco, is noted for its “burn”. In this respect Maryland excels most other tobaccos. These are the kinds of home-grown tobaccos used for making Chesterfield Cigarettes. Then Chesterfield adds aromatic Turkish tobacco to give just the right seasoning or spice. Chesterfield ages these tobaccos for 30 months — 2/4 years — to make sure that they are milder . and taste better. J Tobacco being sold at auction on a Southern market. © 1955.
