Animal Products in Tobacco?

[tinsel]

Leaves are cut then don't touch the ground, then hung to dry.

Every tobacco plant I ever cut or saw cut was immediately laid on the ground. Like Cosmic said, it would lay there until a row was finished or until the next guy came up the row to "spike" the plants (impale the stalk onto a wooden stick for hanging). Sometimes in smaller fields (less than 2 acres) we would cut them all and lay them on the ground, then start the process of spiking and hanging them.
There's several other times during the process where the leaves touch the ground as well.
Maybe we do it wrong here in DFK farming land??? :D

Maybe some aged Odocoileus Virginianus Virginia blend?

Coffinmaker: "Rut Flake" or maybe "Scrape Line Blend" ?

Tinsel- I wrote what I did based on observing one field at harvest time. Leaves were cut and thrown on a wagon. So my broad brush was wrong, and there may be differences in regional practices, differences in type of leaf, as well as who's going to be bidding on it.

My Wife claims some of my tobaccos smell like Dogs-Ass, perhaps she's on to something.

LOL, at least I know what to avoid, that'll be Lamb Cut then, along with any penis blends.
