The study presents results of research on chemical composition of Virginia tobacco produced in Republic of Srpska (varieties DH - 17 and Hewessi - 17). Middle insertion leaves (lower, middle and upper) were used in the research. The following chemical components were tested: nicotine amount, total nitrogen, proteins, carbohydrates, total reduction, antioxidant and ashes. Smoking characteristics of tobacco mostly depend on mutual relations of certain components. Although there are some orders in the contents of certain chemical components per insertions, variety particularity, production conditions, the results of the research show some minor and even significant deviations from the constant values. According to the chemical quality indices, it could be concluded that the studied Virginia varieties meet the criteria set for this type of tobacco. Virginia produced in Republic of Srpska could be classified as a good quality tobacco, where DH – 17 variety provides better characteristics in comparison to variety Hewessi -17. The results obtained show that variety DH - 17 has a complete full smoking in comparison to variety Hewessi - 17. Middle insertion leaves are of better quality in all cases.
