Fresh picked Nicotiana Rustica leaves

Sunup till sundown in my garden today... plus I went till 1am with my spotlight and a bonfire to keep me warm. I got all my rows made. and 30 bags of all organic soil was added to my space.
I harvested about 15 leaves off of my 20 or so rustica plants that are two inches wide, four inches long, about.. I've heard that maybe I should press them... That or let them dry out normally? I want to cure it for a month or two after it dries, for smoking.. what is my best way? Just in a mason glass jar, airing it out ever day, or what? Will immature rustica plants still produce nicotine in the leaves? I imagine it will just be a smoother smoke,

Thanks so much for the links!!

Actually I had already read that second link you gave me.
This answers my questions though... I guess these leaves picked green will mean they will dry with lots of chlorophyll and still have a lot of sugar and nicotine in them.. Oh well, it's just a test mode till the mature plants start to yellow

giz said: do NOT just dry and smoke rustica leaves. seriously, DONT. this can lead to nicotrine overdosage leading to DEATH. Curing the leaves first is important, this is very important. This is a highly toxic plant that should be utterly respected
ok i did not read the replies but this is important and worth mentioning twice
It's worth saying again. I now realize they need to yellow on the plant first, and then slowly cure. I gummed just a tiny bit of a leaf and then spit it out, and kept spitting swalloing NO saliva, and yes I got a buzz, it almost made my gums tingle and slightly sting for a millisecond.. the light buzz lasted 10 minutes.
DON'T EAT RUSTICA. DO NOT GUM LEAVES LIKE I DID. RUSTICA IS DEADLY. RESPECT
ps- thanks for the tidbits... 1000 year rustica... cool stuff bro.
