Hello , my name is Garry,
I am new to the forum, and also, very new to growing any tobacco, in fact this year will be my first try at it. I wanted to plant some seed called "Mohawk Rustica", actually I did plant a few just the other day , it is still to soon to say anything, except that I now see I did not get anywhere enough seed, and probably I paid way to much. I got 100 seeds, but who knows how many will really sprout,..and being new at this, I may need to experiment some.
I live in Mexico, it should be a good area to grow tobacco, what I smoke now, is some tobacco I get.
that is grown by a guy in a pueblo near where I live, I really have no clue as to what kind it is, it is a very dark tobacco, strong , I like it, however I am reluctant to ask him if he will give/or sell me some seed, he might be afraid I would be "competing" with him.
Before, I was smoking "bugler" tobacco, when I was in the US, bugler is not available here, where I live, but anyway the tobacco I get is much stronger, and better. If I bought cigarettes , it was always camel, (no filter), or here in Mexico, a brand called Delicados, also non filter. When I was very young I started smoking "prince albert", later switched to camels.
So anyway, I am realizing this will take some time, and some experimenting, ideally I would plant a variety of seeds, but have no clue as to what kind of seed, will produce the kind of tobacco I like, from what I have read the higher nicotine content of the Mohawk Rustica, is what I am looking for,
Anyway, for now that is all, I guess, also my economic situation makes it impossible to go buying lots of seed, at very high prices, and not even knowing if that seed produces the kind of plants I want, in other words, I can not afford to waste money "experimenting", well I guess that is all for now, I have to go to work. I will see if anyone has any ideas or suggestions.
