Turkish Tobacco Market To Open In Spartanburg Area
An auction market for Turkish type tobacco opens next Monday in Spartanburg. Turkish tobacco, with smaller leaves than flue cured types, has been tested in the Carolinas for years. Growers across mountain, Piedmont, and coastal regions expanded during World War II to diversify, with Turkish tobacco used in cigarette manufacturing and promoted to reduce European dependence. It requires extensive curing and is sold in balks of 15 to 50 pounds at higher prices than some other tobaccos.
