from wiki:

Flue-cured tobacco was originally strung onto tobacco sticks, which were hung from tier-poles in curing barns (Aus: kilns, also traditionally called Oasts).

These barns have flues which run from externally fed fire boxes, heat-curing the tobacco without exposing it to smoke, slowly raising the temperature over the course of the curing. The process will generally take about a week.

This method produces cigarette tobacco that is high in sugar and has medium to high levels of nicotine. The Smith Tobacco Barn is an example of traditional, flue-cured tobacco barn.

I'd never heard the term before picking up an e-cig either but apparently it is common enough procedure.

what in the world is flu cured.. ps tried searching already found nothing??
For me it means delicious. The flu-cured 24 is original equipment for the Screw Driver, try some I think you will like it. We all like different flavors, but I think this is popular for a good reason.Enjoy.
