Synopsis
Excerpt from Principles and Practical Methods of Curing Tobacco
It is evident, then, that the lower, fully mature leaves of the plant when moderately ripe will be best suited for the production of cigar wrappers bright in color and having the necessary elasticity but neutral in flavor, while the upper leaves harvested before they have fully matured will give the best fillers, having the required flavor and aroma but being much darker in color than the wrappers. In curing the bright yellow tobacco it is necessary that the leaf be fully ripe, for the content of the green coloring matter must be reduced to the minimum consistent with the required toughness in order to oh tain the cured leaf free from green or brown discoloration.
