By switching course no more than half a dozen times, walkers should be able to construct a largely flat circuit through layered rice and tobacco fields, along steep riverbanks and past villages set in the rolling, verdant landscape. This is true Marlboro Country. The red and white murals of cigarette packs painted on the sides of drying towers show where farmers dream of sending their truck-wheel-sized leaves. Tobacco...
