Bing.com: how is

Your question is a good
one however, search has taken you to a site that does not answer your question
totally.
how is tobacco wrapped
when presenting to an elder
As long as it is Herbs
such as Kinnick-Kinnick it can be wrapped (Red Cloth) or freely given, not a Cigarette or Cigar!
When walking up to this
elder, assuming your elder is a traditionalist, please make sure that this
elder knows that you are coming, be respectful, show your herbs in your left
hand, ( no need to be over the top, just make sure that the elder knows what
you are about to do) then reach out with the tobacco while still in your left
hand to the elders left hand.
Explain the purpose for
the tobacco.
Once again being
respectful back away a few steps and be on your way with the full knowledge
that Creator is smiling on you while on your journey!
Red represents your mother, Mother Earth.
