I went to the pond to test shoot my new AR and I was looking at the garden where I had assumed all of my plants had died. Boy was I wrong. I hope I can get these things turned into some nice plants. They were all covered with grass and I pulled grass for an hour to uncover them. I planted 11...
Hmmm. Ya know, I didn't even check. Not so sure I could smell it anyway. I wasn't graced with the best sniffer in the world and it takes a pretty powerful oder to get through. I'll give them a sniff tommorow and post what I think. The tobacco, however, smells OMG fantastic. I love it.
I had one on the 4th and I loved it. It was a pretty darn good stick. Even the people sitting around me outside said it smelled good to them and they would probably normally be offended by the smoke. It was win win and the band is neat as all get up.
Man. See what happens when you are too busy blowing schtuff up to pick flower heads off of your tobacco plants...

Are you kidding me? You guys over there can have all you want. Thanks for what you are doing. Keep an eye out in this thread if you can and when you see them getting close shoot me a pm. I'm writing myself a note to remember right now.
The small stalk black mammoth leaves have so much chlorophyll in them. They are taking for ever to even turn yellow. I wonder if they will make a maduro tobacco since they are so dark to begin with?
I rotated my curing box this morning and got some picures of some of my almost done leaves. I can't believe the difference in the way they feel. I've seen tons of videos like the CAO Seed to Soul and the tobacco feels exacly like it looks like it does in the videos. It is amazing stuff. It...

If I can make at least 2 cigars I'll guarantee you one for nothin! I want a few to have and the rest are for everyone else.
Thanks for the pep talk on my idea. I just knew that I was going at it horribly wrong and that I was going to wrech all my tobacco. The first fist full of leaves were my guinea pigs and they are doing fantastic. Thanks again!!

Curing in the curing box. It is a rubbermaid tub with an expanded aluminum shelf in the middle. Notice the okie rigged coat hanger supports. I keep water in the bottom to make a sort of humidor to keep the humidity up to stop the leaves from drying out so quick. I rotate them...
Yeah, as soon as I get my camera running again I'll get some shots of everything. I hate batteries. They are only dead when you need/want them the most.
Just picked some more tobacco. I probably got 35 or 40 leaves this time. That brings the total to around 60 and most of my plants still have 15 - 20 leaves. My curing box is working beautifully and I couldn't be happier with it. Sorry no pics because the camera battery was dead. I was...
They have almost all yellowed and now some of them are turning brown. I think it will be a couple more days and I'll be picking another batch. I think my next pick may be 3-4 leaves off of each plant judging from some of their color. I didn't realize that picking the bottom leaves would make...
