Hello,
I started growing tobacco in may of this year. So far I've been pretty happy with the results, and it's been fun to learn. I've been a member of another forum for about 6 months, but only recently found this one.
I'm primarily a pipe smoker. I enjoy mostly unflavored tobaccos -- burley, virginia, english, perique types mostly. My initial interest in growing came about through my discovery of some of the rope and flake tobaccos by Samuel Gawaith and Gawaith and Hoggarth. With the exception of the fire cured stuff - I thought I could grow tobaccos similar to these.
I'm limited by space, since I live in a townhouse. I've been growing on the patio in pots and in the border. My wife has reclaimed the border, so I've only got two pots going right now. I'm hoping that with the year round growing season I can get at least three crops a year out of those two pots.
Its been fun, and hey - every ounce I grow is an ouce I didn't have to buy.
