Maple aromatic in a briar pipe. I made the switch from cigars a few months ago.

my tobacco sprouts....they haven't been growing much, i have them on a 16-8 cycle...i'm thinking maybe they need 12-12 when they're young.....

Been thinking about growing my own. I heard you have to age it for years though.

nah, month or so and it's good enough. just keep it covered but not wet enough to get mold. it'll brown up quick just like yard trimmings do.....

last time cured some, i just trew a tarp on my spare bed and wrapped it up. opened it every other day to air out. you're basicly just prolonging the drying process. for maximum browning....

Have you smoked any of your own yet, or is this your first time? Also, are you planning on keeping it under a grow light?

well that was this year, actually the sprouts didn't grow. hopeing for better luck next year. but yes i've been growing my own tobacco since like 2002...wasn't for a while until i found out like you did just now, that curing wasn't hard, just hang the plants in a shed. got that tip from a NZ'er on the interwebs.....


couple years back i had a blissful 3 months of 100% homegrown cigarettes was AWESOME! felt like a free man! but i'm looking more at dry snuff for that to be reality. use so little that way, think i could grow ALL my own! it's a dream i have!


(and i also like chewing the wet green leaves, got nice burn to them, without the disgusting chewing tobacco taste.. good stuff! i find i prefer rustica for green chew though)

Looks like I get two posts in a row, a little over a month apart.

Raising a glass to my Uncle who passed away this week, and also the HBT stogie thread.
