Rain

Late August early September has brought Ct Valley Broadleaf very little rain.As the broadleaf is curing the tobacco cures good with moisture going into the leaves for a day or two then drying for 4 days. In New England October is a rainy month. The growers dry the tobacco with pro pain burners or charcoal.
