Hello all my long time friends, did you miss me?
I’m not going to grow a great quantity of tobacco this year. I usually grow a blend for cigarettes full flavour. However I will be growing a pipe blend this year.
So, the question I have for all of you who have grown for pipe blend is if you grew 10 plants, what and how many of each would you grow. Name your type of tobacco plant, I likely have it in my 160 varieties.
I’m looking also to probably making a part of it into cavendish for part of the blend too (something to consider in your answers) but maybe also go with an English blend.
Another thing that might help your answering me is my preferred pipe tobacco is Captain black gold (yummy). Still working on that recipe too but any suggestions would be welcomed.
In other news, I missed growing last year and I really missed keeping a grow log. A lot of beekeeping these last few years with running too many hives have taken a great deal of my time on almost a 24/7 scale during the spring, summer and fall. But we are scaling back our numbers of hives to half the amount this summer so hopefully that’ll help with my sanity among other things.
