Got some seeds and since is my first time trying it, I was wondering how it tasted, or perhaps what to blend it with. How does it go with a Habano 2000 wrapper?
Pa Red has anyone grown it

Pennsylvania Red kilns to a deep wood and leather aroma, and blends well with other cigar varieties. It does go well with Habana 2000 wrapper, though it can work well as a wrapper on its own.

Bob, thank you for the reply.
I've been hanging around this forum for several months trying to soak up as much information as I can.
I've never grown tobacco before and have decided on a first grow of Pa Red, Little Dutch, Fla Sumatra, Habano 2000, and Cuban Criollo 98. I've been thinking about removing one of the strains as Iam not sure if i have enough room to grow them all. The Pa Red was the one I was considering on waiting until next year to grow. Actually, Iam really lost right now, and any help is greatly appreciated.

Does it need a lot of room to grow (greater distance between each plant in the field) ? or to cure ?
FL Sumatra is not particularly useful in filler, since it offers little flavor. You may get adequate wrapper quality leaf from most of the other varieties.
PA Red and Little Dutch are somewhat similar in flavor, though the Little Dutch is notably more intense.
You can space all of the plants at ~21" in staggered rows. If you need to drop one for this year, I would say goodbye to the FL Sumatra. You can grow it next year.

I'd drop the Sumatra too. And I'd try to grow more criollo, even by amending random holes around the yard and in 5 gal buckets. Criollo is a goodie.

I'll be removing the Sumatra from my grow. If i can find more space, I give it a try. Already going to use 5 gallon buckets for the Little Dutch.
I was thinking about using it for a binder and the habana 2000 for the wrapper.

BigBonner, SmokesAhoy was asking if you have any pa red available yet? I'm kind of interested too. Especially considering that this is one deluxestogie has praised in previous threads.
I have some around under a pile of tobacco somewhere . I just have to find it . My barns are a mess . I will look and see if I can find it . I did not have enough to bale so I hand tied it and pressed it . The pen red is 4 years old .
I have plans on growing more this year .
With recent storms we had I am lucky to have any tobacco barns . The first day of March we had two small tornados come through . It took down one of my small barns ,a neighbors barn across the road , a house 200 ft from my barn and two barns a couple of miles up the road from my house .
