Rumple dried for 3 days, then placed in paper bags with strips for 4 days before curing ** -minor edit
If you allow your buds to dry for 2 weeks in a dark cold place they will retain there smell through out. If you dry anywhere from 4-8 days your buds will lose significant amount of smell. Slow dry is the only way.
