You’ve mentioned this before. Would what you grow be suitable for dip? We don’t have the climate (Ohio Valley) for tobacco, so I’m just curious.

Processing is what makes dip vs chewing tobacco vs cigarette tobacco.

Tobacco grows in every state in the union from Texas to Alaska, you just have to pick your time.

The Ohio valley is the most perfect climate for tobacco in the world. Kentucky burley is the world’s gold standard.

There are varieties of tobacco suitable for your climate. It grows in Canada, several of my friends made nice money spending summers up there helping manage the crop, back in the eighties.

If you can grow petunias or nicotania, you can grow their cousin, tobacco.

Growing tobacco is big (or used to be big) here in western Wisconsin which is further north than Ohio. You don’t need a year-round warm climate to grown tobacco.

I saw a guys big backyard tobacco plant in cool and foggy San Francisco. Tobacco grows in many places. It’s just that the prime growing areas are certain states.Tobacco plants are beautiful (I don’t smoke)
