Got an email from a movie prop company wanting to buy tobacco for a movie prop. After I replied about the difficulties they would have keeping the leaf in a condition it could be work with, one of the reps called me to discuss it. They want the tobacco in hands and plugs...the movie setting is in the 1880's. I told him I'm thinking about drying some leaf to brittle dry and using some kind of light cooking oil on it to make it workable for an extended time. Obviously, it won't be fit for consumption after this, but it's a good way to get rid of some garbage leaf.
Anyone have any other suggestions?
