besides delicious of course.
Is it an actual curing process? What exactly does it entail?

I concur on the delicious part, I too am curious as to the method behind the name.
The following is a definition I found on a tobacco growing web site:
"Most Virginia tobacco is flue-cured (dried by warm air), which means that the temperature during the five-day drying process slowly rises to about 80 degrees Celsius. Flue curing is a precisely controlled drying process in which the relation between temperature and air humidity draws out the natural qualities of Virginia tobacco. The colour in flue-cured Virginia leaves range from light yellow to mahogany."
I've noticed that often "Virginia" and "Virginia Flue Cured" are used interchangeably when describing e-liquid. But there are some vendors who carry both Virginia and Flue Cured.

That's funny! Welcome aboard captain. I think this ship could use a little more light hearted humor. Don't get me wrong. The forum is full of fun people. But sometimes the talk about a possible ban gets a little depressing.
Just FYI, with every "new" thing, comes the "banhammer possibility."
Fear not though, to help relieve any concerns you might have just look at local media. So far ecigs have gotten a lot more positive influence then negative.
The Flu part probably relates to a chimmny flu not the sniffles flu. This is what my roomate said when I mentioned I bought some flu cured. I was all "Oh, thats why the picture representing it looks like the top of a chimmny.
Should call it Santasmoke.

Been wanting to try some. Delicious they post. Sounds good. Makes me wonder if anyone has tried both the Virginia and Flue-cured then. I have some Virginia but just can`t stop using the RY4 right yet.
Hope someone has tried both out there?
Yeah, I remember seeing a chimney top on a bottle of eliquidplanets' flue cured. That would make sense.
I raised tobacco for many years and just quit raising it a couple of years ago. There are two primary ways to cure tobacco, air-cured and flue-cured. As one post said, flue-cured uses heat to speed up the process. Personally I have always air-cured and I don't know anyone in Ohio or Kentucky that flue-cures. I know it used to be more widely used in the south (NC, SC and FL), but I don't know how widely it's used even there anymore. There may have been a time when cigarettes made with only flue-cured tobacco were sold, but I'm guessing they are all made with a blend nowadays.
I have to agree.. delicious... Flue cured and Turkish Blend are my two faves! Now lets see the definition of Turkish blend please!!!

Turkish tobacco or Oriental tobacco is highly aromatic, small-leafed variety of tobacco which is sun-cured.
