Maybe that's how they are on controlling you?

Tried growing tobacco, thats easy, its the curing, drying, & treating thats the hard part, takes weeks, then you have to let it rest to get the flavours right.
Sailors on the old sailing ships used to by the cured leaves, then layer alternate leaves with molasses, sprinkle with rum, roll it as tight as possible, then whip it with strong cord, like the whipping on rope ends, when its ready it looks like black twist.
I pressed mine in a block, using a vice as a press.

Retlaw.
