the savings are real! But growing and weeding and suckering and topping and suckering and the cutting and hanging and stripping and curing and shredding are real too.
Good point Dr... you left out watering and removing the stems... lol
Also, flue curing for the true cigarette experience... may need some equipment ...
I also just started the whole leaf journey... buying leaf from WLT is great, primo quality and even lower prices than precut tobacco... precut is good too, especially if you are in a hurry... I still have an inventory of precut and will be buying more, just less... growing is not happening in my yard, but hope to sow some tobacco somewhere, sometime... learning about it first keeps me entertained... buying leaf keeps me plenty busy for now and very happy... all in all, improved quality of life.
