Since I've been lurking around here for a while, and even created an account, I figured why not put it to use. Who know what I might learn.
I'm a long time pipe smoker, and well seasoned gardener, from the Raleigh NC area. Sometime in the fall I decided that this year I wanted to try my hand at tobacco. Nothing huge, just a few plants, just to see if I could do it. I bought some Bright Leaf seeds and started them indoors a few weeks ago along with my tomatoes and peppers. Right now I'm looking at 8 or 10 plants, depending on how many I decide to put in the ground.
The plan is to build something akin to the Cozy Can so that I can flue cure it and then kiln it in the same device. After that, I'd like to press it all into plugs for a pure VA flake. I'm still trying to devise a home-brew press for that portion though.
Anyway, I'm very excited to see how this works out. I hope to stick around if you'll have me.
