Interesting read ...

I ran across this book - available free from Project Gutenberg - Tobacco Leaves by W.A. Brennan. Written in 1915, gives some cool info on growing and processing tobacco, and some insights into how the tobacco market worked in the early 20th Century.

Heres something similar I figure is worth posting here as well. Its from a book dating back to 1883 and is about processing leaf with "oil of Havana" among other things....
