"Virginia Orange", what is it exactly ?

[pogo]

Hello,
Please forgive my bad english with google translate : |

Could you solve this mystery concerning the variety "Virginia Orange" :

I find a lot of leaves of this variety for sale on internet, but it's impossible for me to find seeds !
Is "Virginia Orange" a true variety in its own right, or is it Virginia gold that would have been treated differently?

Looking forward to reading you

Virginia "Orange" likely refers to a stalk position from which an unidentified flue-cure variety was harvested. Toward the lower stalk of all flue-cure varieties, the leaf produces a lemon color, when flue-cured. Toward the upper stalk, the leaf produces a "red" color, when flue-cured. In between, the leaf is sometimes described as "orange".

I used to smoke export a premium rolling tobacco, it was bright orange when you opened the tin, some of the best tobacco I ever smoked

I smoked that years ago. It really was very good.
