O.K., phase I of the curing process, for me, is complete. All of my leaf has color changed, though there is a tiny bit of green remaining on a few of the first leaves harvested.

Now comes the fermentation phase. 3-4 weeks away from producing the first cigars.

What I learned for next year:
Pile curing is the way to go in my conditions.
There is much more time and regular attention required to prevent disaster in this phase.
Harvesting early drastically affects the curing process.
Big leaves are cool looking, but difficult to handle when hanging and moving it around.
Don't try to handle crispy dry tobacco.

Thanks for looking.
