Newbie questions

OK you pipe FOGs. Crack your knuckles, adjust your sleeves, fix your glasses on your noses. Ready? We have work to do.

I've seen different strains of tobacco described, as I've looked at blends.

Viriginia--obvious, right? Well, no. I see that "Virginia" is grown all over the world. Then there's "Eastern Belt" and "Middle Belt." So, just what IS Virginia?

Burley--same thing. Where is it from, where is it grown? What are it's properties?

Latakia--grown in the Middle East, yes? I've seen Syrian and Cypriot. It's a more "aromatic" tobacco, right? I know my buddy LabRatGDI hates it, and my other buddy Magnus5 enjoys it.

Perique--I know about. It's from up the river in St. James Parish, only grown on one or two plantations, total. Part of Perique is its curing in oak sherry barrels, if I remember the article properly from a few years ago. Percy Martin is the only one still growing Perique if I remember right. Supposed to be very flavorful and strong.

Turkish--obvious? Grown in Turkey only?

Cavendish--ok, I'm confused on this. Just what is it?
Golden Cavendish?
Fire-Cured? Black Cavendish?

What is "rubbed?"

What's the difference between flake? cake? and any other cut? I mean, I can SEE a difference but what are the whys and wherefores?

Thanks.
