Hi there,
This year I've grown golden virginia and monte calme, which is a European hybrid of burley. After harvesting I cured all the leaves in a well-ventilated area until they completely dried. As my plants continued to grow I decided to cure the new leaves in the sun. As far as I know, keeping burley and virginia leaves away from the sun reduces the sugar content in them. My question is: will hanging burley and virginia and tobacco in the sun make any difference, or will they become much sweeter and aromatic, as oriental tobacco? Thank you
