Harvested, bunched, and stemmed by hand, the tobacco is pressure-cured for a year in whiskey barrels. The labor-intensive cultivation process dates to the early 19th century; its rituals have descended as occupational folklore through a small group of St. James Parish families.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhotographer Charles Martin (b. 1961) spent eight years documenting the tradition of his forebears.
