>>2330641you've now replied to three different people, from what i can tell, all of which are telling you it's hard. we're not trying to stop you from trying, it just makes no sense that you're saying you want to go through this long process for something you won't even enjoy.
>I don't smoke, never have, but I'm thinking of gifting some of the leaves, and retaining some for myself to try.We're just saying it's a huge amount of time, trial and error, and even money to commit to something you don't even seem to care about. Don't give anyone your shit leaf until you A) know how to smoke, and B) have figured out the process enough to be proud of it. Raw tobacco is SHITTY to smoke, as is overly dry, overly wet, over fermented, under cured, etc etc.
Please, do go for it and try, and report your findings, but i'm just worried you're gonna have a bad time.
