The photos of TN Red Leaf on Victory Seeds are copies of TN Red Leaf photos from Northwood Seed. I guess you'll get to see what you end up with.

Ha, I didn’t even notice. I’ve found it a few places across the web. All of them calling it an “heirloom burley”. They are likely all just repeating found information though. There is an oldish thread in the types of tobacco forum called Tennessee red leaf where pretty much this same issue arises. I think the plants the OP grew look like mine. Either way, thanks and have a good night!

@deluxestogie is Mr. Chaser (northwood) still on this site? Used to talk with him a little but haven’t seen or heard from him in awhile.
I was finally able to access the Tennessee Redleaf page on @polygon55's site:

EDIT: I also scanned through both of Killebrew's massive tobacco books from the late 19th century. There was no mention of a variety known as "Redleaf" or "Red Leaf".
