Hello everyone,
I just realised that I still hadn't introduce myself here !
Sorry, so here we go :
my name is Charles, I live in France (in the "Ardennes") and I arrived here on the recommandations of Gavroche.
I've made my first crop this year, with some seeds from Gavroche :
- 401 cherry red,
- Semois,
- rustica "Mapacho"
I have only been air curing and sun curing my tobacco, some strains are easier to cure than others !
I already tried smoking it, the Semois is already pretty good, I am eager to see how good it can become with a little bit of time
I also began trying to make some perique (some are already 2 month old).
Next year, I will try some new strains (maybe too much at a time...) and I will try to avoid the same mistakes I have made this year.
I hope the weather will be good so we can all get some good tobacco !
I would like to thank everyone on this forum for all the precious informations you share, I have learned so much already !
Charles.
