The sweat cured (fermented) Panama buds are dynamite, I gave a small piece to a friend of mine who's father used to own tobacco farms in Malawi. He used to buy cobs from the seasonal pickers who traveled the country, they always had the best high grade cobs.
Anyway after he left my place he phoned me 1hr later saying "my god thats powerful stuff man".
I have tried the dried and jar stored buds the same age and while they are nice they are not what I would call strong, maybe with a bit more aging.
But the loose sweat cured buds the ugly brown ones have now developed a very very nice aroma. They were hard to resist before but as they have dried out, they have got heavenly.
When my friend took a big sniff of the bud he said," that smells like poison " I have to agree its turned out very good, the best cured bud I have had.
I will be growing the revegged plant again for a bigger harvest and sweat cure the whole batch.
