Welcome. In the Florida I have had my first cigar. Havana Sunrise or something similar. I'm hooked since than. Good place to grow tobacco.

Welcome to the forum El Cubanito, nice looking Habanos and Corojos. I think we'll see good handmade cigars at the end of this season. ;)

Thanks I'm having a blast growing this, even if I won't be smokin it for a year or so I'm loving it, check the plants everyday after work, wish I had planted more. It's good practice though, when I move to my ten acres in a couple of years I should be able to grow a fair amount and be in cigars up to my ears. Still not sure how to ferment this stuff after curing. Not too keen on the box and lamp methods I've seen, any alternatives would be appreciated.

You can build a kiln from a free salvage upright freezer. This thread show one with a very good wiring layout and good pictures so you can see what's happening. A crock pot provides the heat and the humidity. It starts at Post # 12. http://fairtradetobacco.com/showthread.php?1694-kiln
