now, to get that nice smell that we / I associate with those camel - lucky strike type fags, you apparently have to ' roast ' the leaf ?
I have a few varieties that I have stork dried then cured the leaf in zip lock plastic bags in a fairly hot environment ( inside a car )
I found that by opening/closing the bag I could control the rate of drying.
ok, I have
blk sea samsun
smyrna # 9
izmir ozbas
bafra
also xanthi yaka # 18a & shirazi ... not sure if these two are turkish or not
how do YOU go about toasting the leaf ?
I was thinking about putting the leaf in a frying pan with a see through lid, so I could see what's happening
thanks Robbie
