Tobacco.

I have a friend a church that is allergic to all sorts of things, including polypropylene glycol, which is used in processed tobacco as a humectant. He has given up the pipe as a result. If you have grown and cured any with a degree of success and might be willing part with it, please let me know.
I am not as cool as JimVH. Nor or you. Well, unless you ARE JimVH.

You could try calling our friends at Cornell & Diehl and ask them to share some samples of untreated leaf from their stock.

I tell myself every year that I'm going to try it this year. Every year I am overwhelmed by the volume of varieties available. Then there is the science and art of curing it that I have to learn.
