I planted 50 Yellow Orinoco plants this year. From what I have read, it is the sweetest variety out there and is well suited for pipe smoking. I planted late this season so it will be a while until it has fully air-cured. If anyone would like to sample some, let me know. I will begin my first priming within a week or two. The plants have grown over my head and the lower leaves are huge and snap right off the stalk - so I think they are ready.

It makes a very good chew and a very good pipe tobacco. I have not tried it ina cigar though.

im thinking it's a flue-cure variety.

it will proablly be making it into my patch next year,

im gonna do a lot of flue types of baccy

 

[Steve2md]

It shipped perfectly. Nice and yellow, and that includes an overnight stay in a crazy hot AZ shipping warehouse. I'm gonna air cure it for a bit while I get a kiln together, then give it a bit of a cooking. I'll try it as cigarettes, cigars, and pipe. I quit chewing, but I may flavor a little bit and make a plug to try.

 

[Boboro]

They was quite a bit of green leaf in the box when I shiped it. It looked kind of football shaped in pic. 1 I gess from the box being thrown around. If they a'nt no hold or mildrw it was successful. good luck on finishing it up. keep us posted.

 

[Steve2md]

I'll be home tomorrow, and post new pics in the "free leaf" thread then. Looks good to me so far

 

[grgfinney]

smokestack, i would like to try some of that, probably going to make a redneck kiln when i get home for my 509,309,vir gold and havana it would probably go good in that blend

 

[SmokeStack]

No problem Greg - I will send you some once it has cured. Michibaccy and I were thinking about getting together and sampling each others tobaccos. You're welcome to join us.

 

[grgfinney]

[Tnturkey]
