tobacco leaves

Cigarette plant material

The leaves of the tobacco plant, harvested and processed for smoking, chewing, or snuff.

Tobacco leaves are cured through air-drying, fire-curing, or flue-curing to develop flavor and reduce moisture.

The barn was hung with tobacco leaves drying in the autumn air.
