Curing tobacco leaf....phase I

[ashauler]

I mean, what happens now? Jamie, I'm guessing your kiln is another tool to get the leaves to cure, correct? If not, am I going to have to build a fucking kiln next? What am I supposed to be doing now? What leaf did you smoke, and how was it?

I need some cupcakes.

Looking good!! I've noticed the leaves I harevested a little early are taking much longer to change color also.
Yes, initially to help me get the color cure finished, then to ferment the leaf with heat.
No, you don't have to ferment the leaf, so you don't have to build a kiln.
Enjoying the experience.
Long red, and really, not too bad.
