Are you making cigars?

Maybe, more like cigarettes but my intention is pipe tobacco

They look super green!

Oh, thats cool. How long will it take to process the leaves?

they sure do

I am hanging the leaves up right now to color cure. Minimum a month for that. Probably more since its colder. Then I ferment the leaves by placing them in a container with just enough humidity. For this process I hear the longer the better ill be experimenting every 30 days. I have no real idea what I am doing though. Just going by what I've read on the web.

I grew a 'European' variety last year not knowing what to expect. It tasted very cigar like which wasn't what I was after. This year in growing Virginia Gold & hoping it tastes lighter.

I think you are on the right track with Virginia Gold.
