Anyone here grow tobacco?

[gloszz]

So I decided to grow tobacco and peppers this year since it looked like it would have been a good year. I had a few nice tobacco plants but had to harvest quick since the frost would have killed off my plants. I grew some Tiburon peppers but only had 2 peppers to harvest as I started late.

If anyone grows their own tobacco, which varieties?

I grew some Burley, Virgina and some Polish one. They are curing as we speak for another 4 months.

Don't know what kind of tobacco I grew but I got seeds from a member on here. It grew real good but I got over zealous and dried the leaves in the dehyradator. Sparked that up and I'm sure my buddy in Bella Bella heard me coughing and gagging around the yard. Lol

^hah that’s good stuff ... a friend of mine grew some last year .. I’m not sure what kind but I couldn’t believe how well it grew here..I would like to try and make some chew one day

My dad grew up growing it.

I know they would set up irrigation lines and misters to save the crop from frost until it was time to harvest the last of it. I always thought that was neat.

My wife grew up on a tobacco farm, Tilsonburg coincidentally. Stompin Tom got it right. Neat is not the proper description.

I’m sure chewing it would be better then smoking what I had going on. I don’t know what I could compare it to. Lol. It does grow good though. Probably better then dandelions. Was figuring on growing a couple of acres of it but fml that first puff almost put me in the ground. Wish I had some left for you to try chewing to see what kinda show you put on. If it chews like it smokes you’ll be better off with a dried up dog turd. Probably better for you to. Lol

The longer the cure the sweeter the tobacco.

Try mixing some tobacco leaf with the dried inner bark of a willow and dried bear berry leaves for smoking in a pipe.

Damn that's a fine idea. You got me thinking.

My habenero plant didn’t even try this year, but this interests me
