It’s about time to start thinking about starting our seed.

I have been rolling my own for the last 8 months or so. I tried lots of brands that I didn't like untill I came accross a brand called criss cross. If I could find that type of tobacco for sale to grow I would also grow my own. Any links for buying seeds or plants would be appreciated.

I use seedman.com and have had great results without disease.

Get this book if you can find it.

Thanks for the link. I have not seen anywhere here in the Houston area anyone selling tobacco plants. I wonder if there would be a market for selling mature plants or cured tobacco leaves. I have an acre and a half I could use to plant and sell them.

I think you’d run in to trouble with the Feds if you tried to sell tobacco without paying the taxes.

I also believe 1/10th of an acre of tobacco is the legal growing limit for an individual (again, without paying taxes)

Thanks for bringing this thread back.
I've actually quit smoking using the e-cigarette -purely by accident!
Now we all just KNOW that the world's going to end! (Flagg quit smoking) ^
But it looks like other FRiends have got you on the right track with the links.

Been watching this thread a long time, it helped me out when I decided to grow my own.

It’s an interesting and informative thread.

And I’ve read just about enough on the Coakley / Brown race.

“Big Tobacco adds a lot of extra “stuff” that really isn’t necessary.”

All the shredded leaf that falls off the conveyor belts gets swept up at the end of each shift and put back into the system as “reconstituted tobacco”.
