when i wasnt growing but rather dealing i was always getting this type of cure dropped on me. i noticed i would get such a lazy couch lock high over some of the competitor's. i wouldnt go to class if i wake and baked. i HAD to switch dealers for my own sake lol. the taste was much butter though
When I extracted the resin from the cured trim and made it into hash by mixing it with some sifted leached weed, it was very potent and knockout. It seems to alter the character of the high somewhat in a way which I like.
BTW, I should point out that the yellowing also converts the starch to sugars. Some people may not want to be smoking sugars. That's where the long term air curing is helpful. The sugar will be metabolized away to CO2. It'll reduce the overall weight but will make it smoother and less bad for the lungs. Here's a table showing the differences in tobacco from different curing methods. Burley and Maryland are air cured. Not sure what Oriental is but it seems to be midway between flue and air curing in sugar content.
Look for the "reducing sugars" part. Reducing sugars just means sugars like sucrose, dextrose, levulose and I think fructose. They're called that because they can take part in a chemical reaction called reduction. The amount for flue cured is 22%, so that's how much weight you would lose by air curing it after the browning part, though the percentage of sugar is usually around 15%. That particular sample was unusually high. The sugar does tend to give it a sweet taste when smoked though, so some people may actually like it. That's one of the reasons for the popularity of flue cured tobacco actually.
