So like a genius I started with 2-3 varieties and lost track of which was what. Those varieties are burley, virgina gold and small stalk black mammoth. Any body who could help would be greatly appreciated. I guess we can just use number the pics 1-9 to assist in naming the variety. Thanks guys

I have a one in three chance of guessing right but only about fifty percent of the time. I’ll take a stab anyway.
If one of the varieties seems like the leaves are twice as thick, twice as gnarly, and twice as sticky as the others that one will probably be the small stalk black mammoth.
If the burley is a white stem variety the main stem of the leaves will have a whitish, creamy color.
Since I’m originally from Georgia I have no idea how to figure out the third one. ;)

If you are planning to air-cure all of them, then it doesn't matter. The burley will cure the easiest, and end up smelling like burley, the Black Mammoth will be super potent, and the Virginia will be the other one. Black Mammoth tends to have very broad, thick, sticky leaves (lots of trichomes), as @Knucklehead mentions.

Here are my wild guesses:

1 burley
2 Virginia
3 ?
4 Black Mammoth
5 ?
6 Virginia
7 burley
8 Black Mammoth
9 burley
