Suncured Tobacco
The process of sun curing tobacco happens when the time is bright under intense sun. This removes the majority of the moisture. The leaves are spread out on racks and placed in direct sunlight for 12-30 days. Once the moisture is removed the leaves often undergo a secondary curing to complete the process.
The leaves tend to be a yellow to orange color and have a high sugar content. These leaves are small in size and highly aromatic. Many cigarette tobacco blends have traditionally been made with all or majority sun cured tobacco. The mild flavor, strong aroma, and increased acidity is very popular for cigarette and pipe tobacco blends alike.
