Mixed the tobacco is fine, on it's own it's a bit rough. I have not "cured" it like the norm, I just hung it to dry then crumbled it into jars and bags. I grew Hopi and Delaware Indian tobaccos and Bel-B which I got at the NASA Ames center in Maryland that was growing in their planter outside. The Bel-B grew the best of the 3 but took the longest. The Hopi and Delaware were flowered out mid summer but the Bel-B didn't flower until right before frosts. I grew them in my greenhouse and they went crazy.
