Excellent forum that will answer anything you could possibly want to know about tobacco... I believe I've given you this link before, maybe not.

You can just hang them from the rafters of a shed or barn. But this is usually done earlier in the season when it is still warm out. I've gotten some nice cures that way and it is pretty effortless.

Same way I sort of do it too.
Slow cure in a wardrobe with the door ajar to keep airflow happening. After 4-6 weeks they're a nice tan/brown colour and still able to be crushed in your hand without crumbling which is important as dry tobacco is crap to smoke and roll. Store bought baccy is some what moist when packaged. The end product smells like store bought baccy, has full flavoured taste and smokes well either in a pipe or rolled into cigarettes.

i got it , i actually made something i found my old pressure cooker box,
and rigged up a usb fan to blow air into a container with wet perlite and a small CFL light in there , i get about 90f and 60-70% humidity witch it perfect for air color curing
then if i switch the cfl to a incandescent bulb i get a heat of 120f with humidity 75+ perfect for fermentation and sweating
theres little hand hole on the side that i can cover up or not, witch gives some ventilation but since theres a fan inside theres airflow
im such a fucking genius i owe it all to you guys
i forgot to say , im not growing huge plants outside , just mini plants inside my famous closet lol since summer crop never worked out and winters close , i decided to get some going inside , its working nice, i have some leafs about 5-9inchs long, and i have different strains for binder filler and all that, except there not from different plantations so its not a "true tobacco blend"
