Curing is everything. Do you smoke cigarettes??? Have you ever tried smoking tobacco that isn't cured properly? It will give you a MAJOR headache and it tastes like I imagine ass would!! Same principle. Tobacco takes quite a while of very careful curing to really bring out the good tastes and to give it that "kick" while still being smooth (this is especially true with cigars!!!) -- the same applies to marijuana. Nothing worse than weed that is quick dried or improperly cured. The best things in life just can't be rushed.
