El tabaco de Virginia [...] hoy en día es el tipo de tabaco más extendido y cultivado. Para su secado el método más empleado es el curado por aire caliente (flue curing) que da a la hoja un color dorado brillante. 3, record 1, Spanish, - curado%20por%20aire%20caliente
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Cuando las hojas se recolectan, tienen un alto contenido de humedad y no son adecuadas para fumarlas, por lo que la operación inmediata es el curado. El curado consiste en secar la hoja, a fin de que se conserve y sea adecuada para su manufactura ulterior, dando lugar a una serie de cambios químicos en la hoja de tabaco. El tabaco de Virginia, que es el tipo de tabaco que tiene más aceptación para cigarrillos y ciertos tabacos de pipa, se cura por el método de chimeneas o tubos, que conducen los gases calientes de la combustión. 2, record 1, Spanish, - curado%20por%20aire%20caliente
