Hi there,
2024 will be my second year of growing tobacco. This year I made my first experience growing Virginia Gold, Burley and Izmir Tobacco wich made a nice American Blend. Thing is I’m not a big cigarette smoker and I only grew them because the seeds were gifted to me.
So next season I want to switch to cigar varieties. I’m looking for a beginner friendly blend of strains wich are easy to grow, age and roll.
At first I thought of making a puro to keep things as simple as possible, but yesterday I smoked a Corojo puro wich was a little to brash and lacking complexity. But than again I loved the Plascencia Reserva Original wich is a puro from Nicaragua.
I’m looking for a medium bodied cigar wich is more on the creamy, nutty and cocoa spectrum as opposed to leathery, dry and what I would describe as dusty. Since it’s my first time I plan on rolling robustos, but I might try my hands on some gordos.
I’ll be having space to accommodate 20 plants, so any suggestions of tried and true simple blends are welcome. I won’t have the opportunity to grow wrapper plants under the shade tho.
