You don't really have to cure it if you don't mind the acrid smell of uncured tobacco. It takes about 5 months for the plants to grow and mature I just air dried the leaves for a month or two. You can build your own diy curing chamber if you want. There are a lot of hobbyists who grow and dry their own tobacco. it's not hard and the leaf has none of the chemicals or additives of the commercially grown stuff.
