Yes beautifful pictures !
The tobacco one is very appetizing !
The Beauceron have 6 fingers if I am right. My aunt has always dogs, once she had a cross between a beauceron and another race, it was a powerfull dog, but he was also very kind ! He was a good gardian.
I hope you will have a lot of good moments with your new friend "Loustic" I am sure he will ease the pain you feel about the loss of your previous dog.
Marie is already happy

Hello China and thank you again for your cavendish method I do not smoke the sheets(leaves) of fig tree, they are there only to give their delicate flavor(perfume) by "perspiration"


Bonjour la Chine et merci encore pour votre méthode cavendish... je ne fume pas les feuilles de figuier, elles ne sont là que pour donner leur parfum délicat... par "transpiration"

I have heard of guys putting fig leaves in cigars. I have no idea what fig leaves smell like. I'll have to ask around town if anyone has one inside.

It improves the modesty of the cigar.

It improves the modesty of the cigar.

Normally jokes don't need explaining, but I thought the French-English translation might not be clear. So I'll explain, Gavroche. "Modesty" is a reference to Adam and Eve covering their genitals with fig leaves after they sinned.

 

[Charly]

Intersting, I always thought it was grape leaves
Wikipedia tells me that it was initially a fig leave, which became a grape leave.

 

[Gavroche]

With a tobacco leaf, never the original sin would have existed!


Avec une feuille de tabac, jamais le péché originel n'aurait existé !

 

[Charly]

Yes... but we wouln't be there to talk about it

My small Gold leaf limited voluntarily to 12 tobacco leaves. He does not want to mature! Which comedian...


mon petit Gold leaf... limité volontairement à 12 feuilles de tabac. il ne veut pas mûrir ! quel comédien...

 

[deluxestogie]

That is an impressive plant. If you are running out of time, because of the weather, you might consider stalk-harvesting. Even the top leaves seem mostly mature, though not the ripeness I would expect for harvesting a flue-cure variety.

[greenmonster714]

Bob, how a burley ?

 

[Gavroche]

Sorry Bob, cure as a burley ?

 

[deluxestogie]

Sorry Bob, cure as a burley ?

Yes. Unless you have a flue-cure chamber. I cure many varieties on the stalk, if the top leaves have mostly matured at the time the bottom leaf is ready to harvest. Curing on the stalk will slow the leaf drying, which may be helpful at this time of year.

Merci. Attention, seulement douze feuilles de tabac, je vais le sécher seul puis je le pèserai
