Is that your personal use plant? What are your plans with it?
Yesβsir, personal. Been growing three years. Pipe tobacco. Might try to roll a cigar this year.
After curing, do you bale them for aging? Would love to see the progress. I smoke a pipe regularly and have yet to grow any for myself. Keep saying next year is the year, so.. next year is the year.
Would make nice cigars..
I stack them in a humidor box I made, after completely cured Iβll process for pipe tobacco. I store long term in mason jars with Boveda packs. Still learning the tweaks for best flavor but it smokes just fine.
Fantastic. I like a simple process.
No wonder i like this stuff, what a sexy leaf
Another great trade item to produce if SHTF.
Boss.
Beautiful. What type of tobacco is this, and what type of blend do you usually make?
I also smoke a pipe, most of what I smoke is a blend (English or Balkan) what variety? I picked up some tobacco off the side of the road a couple years ago and it was not good (Tennessee dark fired)
Holy shit I didnβt realize the leaves were so big. It looks like mega spinach!

Havana 142 from Victory seed company. I donβt blend, just smoke it.

I just harvested one of my plants. This was the first year I grew tobacco and I never realized how sticky and huge they would become. Almost took over the polytunnel.
Nice. I tried growing my own this year with mixed results. I've color cured and experimenting with fermenting now. Quite excited.
You make your own cigars?
can you expand on how you cure? i have grown tobacco many times but mostly for seeds since no time to cure. but next year... i hope curing is not too difficult?
Will try this year. Pipe tobacco up until now.
Hereβs a guide I use.
I made a curing chamber out of an old cooler, heat pad and humidifier from amazon.

Do you know what type it is?
Been growing little dutch for 2 years now and it's excellent for pipes. Very aromatic.
All up, I grew 7 different varieties this year.
Burley, Virginia, Monte Calme Brun, Turkish, Florida Sumatra, Little Dutch, and Punche.
Havana 142 is the variety. From Victory Seed Company
Nice! Iβm not a big nicotine guy but I do love the occasional cigar or pipe, I probably smoke about 15-20 times per year (with a good whiskey)
How long do you typically dry and age the leaves?
This is very cool!
Good to hear you have a DIY setup, something to consider.
Silly questiin, can a humidor be used to cure? Or am i way of?
Thanks so much for sharing! Very much appreciated.
