Week 13, as previously posted I primed off my Corojo Viso and cut 7 more Perique for hanging. Each Corojo averaged 6-7 Viso leaves giving me about 80 leaves in 6 hands. Last night humidity went up 7% in the shed after hanging leaves while temperature stayed at 88*F at 10pm. 
Second and Third Picture is an impressive sized Corojo Viso leaf that I hung about a dozen this size. I use these as bookends in the hands.
Fourth is capturing my optimism that Corojo Seco will cure out to a usable product.
Fifth picture is Corojo Ligero status still on the plant. Quite thick leaf and now begins my annual game of chicken. I strive for "dark" ripened Ligero with Cigar varieties. So I will leave it on the plant until the threat of insects becomes too much for my psyche to bare.
Last picture is inside the shed, 12 Perique plants and 12 Corojo hands hanging. Temp and humidity are at 8:30am.
