[QUOTE="yvesmary, post: 136046, member: 1408"] Growing tobacco is easy. It's what happens after that takes skill, experience and time. I had about 70 plants I grew last year, virginias and burleys, that survived the wind, hail and downpours. I hung the leaves in a garage to cure. The ones that were ripe turned nice brown but the others just dried green. It was too dry in there and it needed some kind of humidity. That was the simple part. The next step would have been to build a kiln with a heat source to keep it at about 120 degrees and a humidifier to keep it at 70% for the 4-6 weeks needed. A lot of money and time involved. After all that you have to store it and let it mature, the longer the better. Is the final product going to compare with the stuff the experts sell for $30 a pound. I said the hell with it and have been buying it online while it's still cheap. I threw the leaves in the compost pile. [/QUOTE]
