I think it'll make a reasonable black cavendish.

My impression with Perique is that the final aroma is luck of the (microbial) draw, whereas the nicotine depends on the variety used. With Cavendish, every variety provides its own unique aroma, though again, nicotine is whatever the nicotine content of the chosen variety provides.

I'll do that for sure. I'll also try kilning some for a while, should be useful in some kind of blend.

Nearly every leaf has its function somewhere. Air cured takes longer to get there.

A curious study from RUDN University (Moscow, Russia): summarized the results of 520 studies on the impact of manure on the soil.
phys.org
Their ideal: 25,000 kg. per 1 ha. =~ ½ pound manure per square foot.
For my 60 square foot beds (5' x 12'), that would be about 30 pounds of manure per bed, annually. They particularly liked pig manure. I'll go with 10-10-10.

Biologists summarize 520 studies and report the best way to fertilize soil
A team of biologists from RUDN University working together with foreign colleagues have summarized the results of 520 studies on the impact of manure on the soil and created a snapshot of all biochemical processes that go on in fertilized soils. The team also compared the effect of manure with...

That would require a lot of .... pigs !
"on average manure was accumulating at a rate of 1.3 gallons of manure per pig per day"

That would come to around 10.4 pounds of wet manure per hog per day. If we assume it will dry down to 1 pound per day of dry manure, Then a single hog could provide enough manure for 700-800 square feet, which would be perfect for my total grow area. [The aroma might be a different matter.] Of course, I would have to feed the hog every day. And perhaps the hog would eventually feed me.

Does hog size impact manure production?
Does raising hogs to heavier weights create new considerations when designing manure storage facilities in an operation?

The meteorologist said that, with the gusty winds today, it would feel like the teens. I tried it, and it didn't work. I still feel like I'm in my seventies.

Whew. Test flight. 
I'll Have Some Seeds, Please.
These are among the plants I "grew" this summer. The MD 609 was grown entirely in a pot on my porch steps, and is just now forming robust buds. They have been in my enclosed back porch since the weather turned crappy.
This Ainaro was taken from its garden bed just before the first frost, and kept entirely indoors since the cold weather became nearly constant.
I do have bagged blossoms on a potted Olor, as well as on a potted Viqueque. So far, the feeble Liquiça has yet to get any buds going.

We have a strange weather pattern today.
About to hit 60F here. I may go do some quarantine back road slow riding short road trip with the windows down.
Well, this year in southwest Virginia has been the second wettest on record. Wetter than Seattle. The wettest season here on record is (it figures) 1918. We'll be starting January 1 with an inch of rain.
