Grow Your Own article

The first hurdle is getting to the seedling stage but the biggest hurdle takes place after picking the leaf… the drying, curing, aging and even fermenting.

According to my contact list I have mailed or given out seeds (free) to over 50 BOTLs in the past few years.

My seed stock and varieties grows a bit each year along with my tobacco chests. Some of my homegrown tobacco is nearly 4 years old. Just like cigars loose leaf tobacco requires a modicum of vigilant care.

I encourage all who have a spark of passion to give it a try, if only to see the beauty of the pink blossom.
