'''Yenidje''': Named for the town of Yenidje, Thrace, today called Genisea, Greece, Yenidje is also called Yenice, Jenidze, Yenidge, and Yeniji, and is a variety of Yaka tobacco, the best regarded form of Xanthi. Yenidje was an Ottoman tobacco production center until 1843 when the town burned and the growers moved up the slopes of the Rhodope Mountain range. Those slopes, called the Yaka, were made of a red clay loam mixed with small flint stones giving rise to short, low-yielding plants of the basma type, meaning (in this usage) that the leaves are small, almost round and with no free stem. The leaf burns badly on its own and was traditionally mixed with Bafra to cure this issue. | |||
