DtG, Although I've not seen tobacco processed like this before, as you know, absent the shredding step, this is the same as the most popular process for snowbird curing!
I've got some tobacco drying now. What consistency or condition is ideal? I checked on my stuff yesterday and it is feeling considerably more "crunchy". Is that bad?
I have so much respect for this man and his business and how kind he is. We need more hard workers like him in the US. I dry lots of herbs and teas from my garden, this method would definitely work for that! Thanks for sharing, your channel is so good!
Good farming like this for commercial agriculture purposes is probably illegal in the US. Everything has to be a big expensive process anymore because of regulations
At least you guys in the US can easily start up small businesses. Just try what this guy does in a Western European country. EU hates small timers, they will demand licences for this and that, you will have to adhere to all sorts of autistic standards requiring expensive analysis certificates, you will have to account for every damn gram so there is no black market diversion, it's pure bureaucratic madness. How simpler life was for our grandparents and the ones before them, when families were for a good part farmers, trading was simpler and the government didn't have to control every damn thing.
If it is straight burley, that's great stuff. I enjoy a straight burley blend (light and dark) in a pipe quite often. Neat to see this method, thanks for sharing it.
I grow native tobacco in the Sonora Desert and this is a god send of a technique, not only am I super impatient and don't have an easy way to maintain good hanging curing conditions but it pairs perfectly with how mild and strong the desert type is. My only problem is dealing with the incessant wind in my area always trying to blow it away so I've taken to using baked goods cooling racks face to face to make a sort of grill basket for whole leaves while they dry.
You see? This is GREAT! Because in Italy its legal to cultivate tobacco while it's still illegal to own tools for "mass tobacco production". This method may just be what home Italian gardeners need to be self sufficient smokers! Low tech FTW! Thx David 👍🏻
i'm italian too and i think i'll use this method to dry my tobacco this year cause i live near bologna and i think the sun that there's on late summer about 30 degrees celsius should be perfect for this method
@@lucabertaglia7651 Ciao! Sono italiano anche io! Did you end up doing this? Did it work? I've planted my first tobacco plants and have been trying to figure out how to cure it, shred it, make it into cigars and cigarettes, this looks very promising
Yeah, until government decides that home growing tobacco should be illegal. With the ever increasing prices on tobacco, you know that it'll be just a matter of time. And it's not about your health, it's about breaking the human spirit.
@@bromisovalum8417 Yup in the Netherlands you pay already 38 € voor 130 grams. ( Insane ) But you can grow about 100 plants i believe. But of course our ruling tyrants will ban that eventually.
Omg thanks David! This one video answered so many, well all...of the tobacco questions I have had which prevented me from tackling the task. You must get his name! I will cut mine with one of the slicing machines teachers use to cut square paper.
Got your tobacco book a few days ago. Great to see the video. But the bamboo mats won't fit on the dash of my car...... that is full now. Video on fermentation of tobacco would be great.
Almost every tobacco leaves in Indonesia is sun dried, even if it’s Virginia bright. After picking from stem, it must be stored in dry places around 2-7 days depend on the varieties. Usually, higher nicotine contents tobacco’s or thick leaves need more day. Less days, the taste would be harsh, too much time it would be bitter because of rotting. After storing phase, they shreds it at night time and in the morning they would sun cure it for around 2 days (until it really dry inside the stem). In the night of last day, they would put it outside to catch humid air, after humidity right they would store it. Exceptions for virginia, after that sun curing process, the factory would rehydrate the shredded leaves and then put it in the giant machine for flue cure.
I planted seeds in the spring that were over 15 years old, 100% germination ! Pretty sure it's burley amber? And a dark Cavendish. 15 years, that's a long time. I tossed probably a thousand seedlings because I didn't have room. But I have at least a hundred 4' tall plants starting to flower right now. Great video.
thank you for the video. as indonesian, i shocked to the fact that you came to wonogiri, which is not a famous district, even for tobacco research purpose. good job!!
This is a most interesting show that I'm glad to be watching!! I'm curious as to the variety of tobacco being grown and can tobacco be successfully grown here in Florida??
I generally have little interest in tobacco, (unless I find a market!) but this was super interesting! Those drying mats could have so many uses. I look forward to seeing a video of you making them. Cool stuff!
I was just wondering if a paper shredder would work haha I thought of it when I saw the farmer shove those dry leaves through and they came out reminding me of watching shredded paper
I'd love to try that method myself but I live in the UK and rarely see the sun, last summer was ok but I missed it as I was in the bathroom at the time.
Drying: Leaves torn apart put in a pile on paper ideally with heat source from below. Put on top of a computer works perfectly. Then when a bit drier chopped up with scissors, resulting in clumps. Being pulled apart these mostly turn into long thin strips perfect for rolling cigarettes or stuffing into pipes. When mostly dry store in a sealed container for an hour or so to equalise moisture across all the tobacco. Dry further if still too damp. COMPLETE!
For a non-smoker I am just ridiculously fascinated by your 2nd episode video and this one as if I need to grow tobacco. lol. Even though I have no desire to get other people to smoke, in the general sense, I have to think this is a far better option from a human health perspective compared to what I hear about additives in commercial cigarettes. And I'm liable to be into whatever can be done on a local, self-sufficient scale for a variety of reasons. I need to find out what is the deal with why pipes smell so great while cigarettes don't really smell good to non-smokers and cigars are basically designed to make non-cigar smokers flee. I don't know but I was guessing that had something to do with tobacco varieties.
This is an excellent video that I will hold onto for the future! Have you learned about how to cure leaves to roll cigars? I would very much like to use some my harvest this year to do so.
I has just planted my tobacco seeds and now they sre 38 days old i wonder Why not go immediately ferminting tobacco leaves since it enhance flavour and keep it strong
Hmm, I have zero interest in smoking or chewing tobacco, but I know nicotine is a pretty good poison, so I wonder if it would make a good chop and drop and foliar feed to decrease insects? Does it grow like a weed, or does it need a lot of effort?
Woah thank you so much for sharing all of this. Super interesting. Him sticking his hand in that machine made me a little nervous though. Eventually I want to home grow and sun dry some mapacho. I wonder what the advantage of shredding it first is? Do you think there could be any benefit to leaving the leaves whole? I feel like that may extend the cure time but don't know if there would be an advantage to it.
Tobacco leaves quick dried in direct sunlight taste like chlorophyll. I've tried smoking some of my tobacco that was left in the field after harvesting, all of which actually tasted green and gross. I've also experimented with various drying and curing techniques with mediocre results compared to traditional American processing. The flavor of good tobacco comes from proper drying and curing over time, of a minimum of 4 to 6 weeks, not in 4 days. Some higher quality tobacco is aged and cured for years. The process shown here only drys the moisture out, which is sufficient for the people of Java, who smoke and chew tobacco for the nicotine content, not for the quality of smoke.
I have been doing this,but I sun dry the whole leaf. An that is a wonderful smoke. I wonder how that guy keeps that tobacco from getting blown away by the wind. I can have a smoke in three days. With Prilep tobacco,you don't need to add anything to it.
I make each cig using a hand device and pre roll tubes. 1/3 tobacco, 1/3 Mullen, 1/3 secret ingedient 420. A good smoke, mild, smooth and Mullen sure helps with my old lungs 🫁🙂
I noticed the Islander farmer, for demonstration purposes, ran whole teak leaves, large veins and all, through his shredder. Does this mean that he likely runs the whole raw tobacco leaf through, as well? Are central tobacco leaf stems usually dried and cured, as well, and chopped up with the whole leaf into the final product for cigarettes, etc? Thanks. Great video! Newbie, here.
They sell the sun dried tobacco to P.T Sempoerna, a tobacco products manufacturer in Indonesia.. your translator did a literal translation there (Sempurna = perfect), where the guy actually meant PT Sempoerna.. just helping out a bit. Hope that helps
Nice way of curing. I usually sun dry whole leaves in the Florida sun. I will have to try shredding some and sun dry it! I have Burley 64 and Florida Sumatra sprouts started. I plant the Tobacco on the row next to my Tomato's and I have found the Tomato Horn worm eggs on the tobacco and not my Tomato's every time! I guess the Moth prefers Tobacco.
I was told the other day that the horn worms more frequently seen on tommatos are actually the "tobacco horn worm" rather than the "tommato horn worm," so if there's anything to the names it would seem that you're right that that's their preferred host.
@David The Good I order about 12 varieties from victory seed with a few being listed as high nicotine. I think one was named Mohawk. I just watched video where the variety you mentioned was talked about. I don't smoke currently but I think I will get a old English pipe before too long. I listened to mito life podcast with Eliot Overton as guest and they mentioned some positive health correlations with smoking which is wild but they are selling distilled nicotine capsules as newtropic for brain so there must be something to it.
Hi, and sorry for my English, your video was the best of all on youtube, I would like to get the tobacco to dry in the sun too, I wanted to ask you, but after this process is the tobacco ready to smoke? is it good for making cigarettes? and then I wanted to know what kind of mats I could use to dry it
Hey Dave, I planted some tobacco seed I was given and I believe I have identified the variety as Nicotiana tabacum. I have no idea what I'm doing, kind of a miracle they have grow so well, but is there any way to receive a physical copy of your book, not just a kindle version? Also is there any other content you would recommend looking into for that variety or in general (specifically regarding harvest/drying for smoking and getting seeds from the plant?)
@@mlagerg3021 you heat banana leaf on stove, that just makes it pliable-use a heavy weight-like 20lt bucket of water-forget about it- a bit like rope tobacco
I would love to get a hold of some tobacco seeds. I've heard it's excellent insect repellent for your garden. No bugs like tobacco( I don't think anyway). I wonder how our high humidity will effect the curing process? Hmmm.
Yeah that's my problem with this. This isnt actually "curing" the tobacco. Just drying it. Whoever he sells it to perhaps flu cures it afterwards? Anyhow...
In my country Indonesia there is a type of tobacco called Gayo Aceh, and the tobacco is green. and one of my favorit.. you can search and type Gayo Aceh.
FINALLY!!!!!!! Thank you so much! I have been been exploring this myself... my tech is different, but the concept is the same. I'm gonna have to give this method a try too!! Thanks so much, man... 😉
Actually he bought that machine by taking loan either from the factory that bought his tobacco or from a store, its seem your translator forget to mention that😅
Wow. Your head is stretched up and down??? Sorry I am curious. Is there a medical reason for this? I love learning things. Oh my gosh! I hope I am not being rude! I just have a need to know things!
The farmer is not getting those millions. Your government is. So is mine in the US. Tobacco is a highly taxed good. Governments get rich and the farmers stay poor.
good to find out wherethe shitty black market tobacco in Australia comes from. People here still fork out $35 a pack of 25 rather than pay $5 for this crap. Sad but true.
Only Christ's righteousness is good enough - and I accept His sacrifice on my behalf. I used to have a boss who would occasionally call me "David Depravedman," as it was much more theologically correct.
This is my new favorite method for curing tobacco. Anyone else seen it done this way before?
I worked ALOT of tobacco during my youth in the 90s. Never seen sun dried before, we always used a barn and it took several weeks to dry.
DtG, Although I've not seen tobacco processed like this before, as you know, absent the shredding step, this is the same as the most popular process for snowbird curing!
I've seen these mats being used to dry anything in Indonesia. Also fish, herbs and cocao. (don't use the fish mat for tobacco!)
@@topsecretbear9918 Yeah, I would string and hang them up in my barn back home.
I've got some tobacco drying now. What consistency or condition is ideal? I checked on my stuff yesterday and it is feeling considerably more "crunchy". Is that bad?

Yes, definitely.
