Tobacco Queen

I didn't know tobacco leaves got that big! I thought they were about the size of an aspidistra, but this is more like three heads of kale stacked on top of eachother.

I remember back in the days when I worked in a cigar store, they sold whole tobacco leaves for people who liked to chop their pipe tobacco themselves. There were blond leaves and brown leaves. Some guy bought six pouches of those at each visit. The store also sold the tobacco choppers, which could double as a herbs chopper if you liked the taste of tobacco in your tabbouleh.
