How many "tins" of snus does one burley or va plant produce?

[manfisher]

My crop is all burley and Virginia. For burleys I have burley 21, 9 and for Va I have Va 15, Golden Leaf 939, and Virginia Brightleaf. On average how many "tins" or perhaps lbs of snus can I make from one plant?

Burley varieties may yield up to ½-pound of cured leaf per plant. Subtract maybe 25 to 40% of that for the stem weight. Virginia varieties tend to yield a somewhat lower weight of cured leaf per plant. In making snus, depending on the recipe, you may be adding an equal weight of water to the tobacco flour. You may or may not be adding the stems.

Perhaps others can provide better guidance on this.
