Wasn’t sure where to post this, but thinking of growing my own tobacco plants and just wondered if anybody else has or does
Cheers
I used to say I was going to every year... but never did :(
Growing it is the easy bit, drying & curing is harder :(

Yes I can imagine like the bud m8, was thinking of doing it years ago but went on to growing bud then, price of baccy and cigs are getting to be a fucking joke now m8 even the imported good stuff is 13-15, looking at the size e bastards get to they would have to be done outside wouldn’t they
Cheers

I can’t even find out if it’s legal to grow, not that it makes much difference when I’m growing weed indoors but it would if I had to grow it outside, the last site I found looked legit and said it’s legal, I probably sound like a dick but would anyone else in the uk be surprised if it wasn’t legal unless we pay tax on it
Cheers
It's legal to grow but you may find that there is a limit on how much you can dry & cure (as if anyone would pay any attention LOL)
You used to be able to buy the leaf on the internet at about £20 a kilo... but you had to promise you were just making snuff with it :laugh:

My grandad grew tobacco plants once (in the blood, it seems)
He nurtured and tended them every day with a growing sense of pride.
They looked stunning.
He eventually chopped them, dried and trimmed everything up and rolled the first one up.
To cut a very long story short, it nearly killed him and he never smoked again.
Something to do with saltpetre.

Saltpetre is added to cigarettes to keep them lit. That's why roll ups go out when left but a cigarette doesn't

Lol never knew they sold the leaves for it

It's a very grey area that is frowned upon by HMRC, hence the need for them to say it is for snuff ;)

Fuckin jokers m8 we can’t do fuckall for ourselves without getting in shit, wouldn’t surprise me if they started charging us to breathe lol
I had a go at the whole making fags... TBH, I found it not worth the effort - but! if you do go down that road, look for a shredder that will also cross cut or you end up with silly long strands....

I did indeed. Bought the leafs, shredder, cigarette tubes & stuffer :) TBH, Virginia tobacco needs to be blended with the darker ones to be successful - but I couldn't be arsed with ratios & the like... My shredder also cut a little wide for my liking... and, as I said, the leafs are massive & the shredded bits are long :(

I know a member who ain't been around for a while called hobbit,he used to grow it outdoors ,he was in Australia though ,not sure if the climate needed ,sure if you do a search you may find his posts
Was it Hobbit that grew the coffee beans too?

There was someone, can't remember who, that grew their own coffee beans, roasted them, ground them... and had enough for one mug full ;)
