I'd rather give something away than sell for less than its worth or be haggled down. The promotion for free seeds is a good motivation to get people interested. I can honestly say that it is cheaper and easier to purchase whole leaf by the lb. than it is to produce on small scale. You can only do so many varietys and whats the fun in that besides the economics.. A few well thought out purchases of whole leaf led to mixing of different varietys and now growing my favorites. It all started with a few seeds. The trade has done as much for my understanding of tobacco [40 yr smoker] as the growing.
