Yep. It's that yellowing stage that varies with variety and priming level.
In a box with paper was done to yellow leaves of differing varieties and priming levels. I use my flue chamber to force age after curing. I use tubs with a seal and hold them around 80% rh at 120-125⁰ for at least a month. They come out nice.Got it. That answers that question. Next question, what do you do with cured leaves in between batches? I read, earlier in this thread, putting them in a box with paper is an option, but not great as it is better to immediately start kilning process. Is that correct? Eventually I’ll have a basic understanding of all this and won’t need to ask so many questions.
Thanks,

Not specifically. More like I flue cured my leaf for chewing tobacco but I broke my foot and found that rolling cigars is relaxing to me. I dont smoke. So its like a party favor or gift or idk...That appears to be a cigar. Were you flue-curing your cigar varieties?

That was a good laugh @deluxestogie, I probably could bite off and chew on one and for a true cigar enthusiast thats probably the best use for that cigar lmao.I think your cigar looks good. I commend your rolling. The source of my question was the issue of flue-curing cigar variety tobaccos, since that usually doesn't taste very good when smoked. (You could, of course, just bite off a chunk, and chew it.)
Take care of your foot.
