[QUOTE="Swede, post: 577795, member: 5139"] I thought the BoB's might enjoy seeing where some of their pipe tobacco might come from. I'm a little uncertain of what many blends call "dark fired", as they usually say it is burley. This tobacco in the pictures is dark fired as I've known and grown and seen grown for over 50 years. It is quite different than burley and the seeds are referred to as dark fired. After the tobacco is cut and spiked by hand onto tobacco sticks, it is hung on these scaffold wagons, taken to a barn and housed (hung in the barn) on tier poles. Later bundles of wood slabs cut from the outer parts of logs at sawmills are laid in rows under the tobacco. Then, these are covered with sawdust and one end lit on fire to smoulder until the tobacco is a dark oily almost black brown. Of course, it smells really smoky in a very unique way. Hope you enjoy!
