Curing of tobacco

In nearly all instances where tobacco is to be used for smoking or chewing, it is necessary to cure the tobacco directly after it is harvested. Tobacco curing is also known as color curing, because tobacco leaves are cured with the intention of changing their color and reducing their chlorophyll content.
