Резюме: The study was performed in 2019 - 2021 in the Plovdiv and Pazardzhik regions (Golyam Chardak vill.) under production conditions. Biological characteristics were determined and assessment was made of the basic quality indicators of the tobacco raw material from a new line of large leaf tobacco – Virginia 0842. The main physical values of raw tobacco were determined. The chemical indicators of tobacco were studied – nicotine, soluble sugars, total nitrogen and ash. The results show high values of nicotine (2.03 to 3.78) and total sugars (11.10 to 24.15) in Virginia 0842 in comparison with the reference Virginia 0514. The values of total nitrogen (1.95 to 2.85) and ash (8.01 to 9.61) in the Virginia 0842 line are with lower values in comparison with the reference Virginia 0514, mostly for class two. The free burning rate of Virginia 0842 tobacco was determined (2.74 to 2.82 mm/min).
