A jolly big "howdy an' hallo, folks!" from Copenhagen, Denmark: The paradise on earth (accoding to the medias) with approximately five sunny days per year and crazy people like me.
I was guided to this place by the Jitterbugdude as he have heard of my trying to grow tobacco overhere - as well as interested in trying new sorts maybe next season.
Tobacco have been grown in Denmark since 1680 and was at it peak during WWII; it is estimated that in 1941 there were 15,-20,000 tobacco growers in Denmark, but some time after the war cigarettes was again available and less people were growing but it still happens.
In Denmark it was mostly N. Rustica which was used. This is also one of the types I am working with, and on another location I work with N. Tabacum - Virginia.
This is my first season as I wrote, and I am well away to get my "tobabies" into the soil (at least 12 Virginias in the summer cottage and a couple of Rusticas ~90 km away at home) - and is still planing on how to process the harvest...
When it hopefully is finished and ready to be used, it will be in one of my pipes - and... maybe I will try to make a single, ugly cigar or two just the fun of trying it.
