That defiantly different. Looks like you could shred the piano up and smoke it.

Those are neat, I have noticed that, with my best leaves, they are very pliable, and "gummy", I can imagine if one had enough leaves to spare,available, things could be made,..also the stalks ?...nice to see someone put tobacco to other uses, creative, just goes to show tobacco is good, not only for smoking, but art work. Just recently I burned a stem, one about 1/4 thick,..I was using the burnt end to draw, like charcoal,...later I will show some drawings, some nice color tones can be achieved.
