The tobacco should be cased hard so that the mass will 

 rise but little when the pressure is removed. When tobacco 

 is prized or cased in the spring, it will commence to "warm 

 up" as the summer comes, and will go through a sweat. 

 After "going through a sweat" the leaves take on a darker 

 color, and lose the rank flavor which they had before.
