This has gotten long overdue, but I finally managed to put together a video and a post at creatinker.com from the harvest and curing of my tobacco. I have not made any snus from the tobacco, but tobacco is like wine, it gets better with age. I have read that Swedish Match stores their tobacco for five years before using it.

From seed to Swedish snus, harvest and curing the tobacco
After a warm and sunny season with a good amount of rain, it's time to harvest and cure the tobacco. A new thing I'm trying for the first time is to cure the tobacco outside only sheltered from the rain. This has prevented most of the tobacco to dry in a green state. If it got dry during the day, the higher humidity during the night and the morning dew made it moist and supple again during the night.Tags: None

Congratulations! It's a very rewarding plant to grow!Squeezyjohn
Sometimes wrong and sometimes right .... but ALWAYS certain!!!

Thank you, yes it's rewarding. I took down the last drying leaves this week and weighed them. In total 3500 g (7.7 lb). Not optimal for over 90 plants, but I aim to improve on that this season. Better location and better soil are on my todo-list.
