[AT] OT Swedish tobacco farming

[John Hall]

Interesting Mattias! What do they use the tobacco for? It doesn't look 
like anything I have seen here in the US--it is very short and has 
small, thin leaves--is it organically grown (yes they do they grow that 
here on a SMALL scale). Most of what we grow is for cigarettes, but 
there are specials for cigar wrappers. The air drying process is similar 
to what they do here for Burley, to be honest I don't know what that is 
used for, probably blended with the more common flue cured to obtain the 
final product.
