Sri Lankan High Quality Tobacco Leaf Dried Natural Free Shipping 1-5 Leaves.Whether it’s for smoking, for ceremonial use, or for an insect repellent solution, there are many reasons to dry, or air-cure, your own tobacco leaves. Drying tobacco is a kind of curing process that takes between 3 and 8 weeks to properly prepare the tobacco for use. This method of curing will produce tobacco leaves that are, relative to other curing methods, low in sugar, high in nicotine, and sweet in flavor!
Find a shelter where you’ll have some control over the humidity by opening or closing doors, windows, or vents. You’ll need to keep the humidity relatively high to keep the leaves from drying too quickly.
Be sure the leaves are protected from direct sunlight, which may burn them.
Tobacco leaves are applied to cuts as an antiseptic and to stop bleeding. Ground tobacco leaves were also used as “snuff” (inhaled through the nose) for medicinal and ritualistic purposes. Tobacco smoked is sometimes blown into the ear to treat earaches.
