Chris asks…
Any residential tobacco growers out there?
I want to grow my own tobacco to make into pipe tobacco. is there a certain plant or strain that would be best for flavoring?
GardenersCardiff answers:
I do grow my own tobacco and I find that the quality is far superior to commercial products. I send to England for Burley seeds, they grow well on the east coast USA. I use no pesticides, herbicides or fungicides, no chemicals at all and this makes a delicious tasting leaf. Bugs are a problem but hand tending keeps them at bay. I cure them by stringing them in the garage and then pack them in boxes. I smoke mostly in a pipe but I also roll some into delicious cigars and the lightest cured leaf I roll into cigarettes. This year I have about 10 lbs put away and there is another 2 lbs still on the plants. No tongue-bite, no cough, no cost. I recommend home grown tobacco to all.
Donna asks…
Is it legal to grow your own tobacco in Oregon?
I’ve read from online forums that it’s legal to grow tobacco for personal use in the U.S., but I would like a more reputable source.
Does anyone have a site or know where I can get this information?
GardenersCardiff answers:
The law is generally proscriptive, not prescriptive. But, you could look at the U.S. Dept. Of Ag.’s rules and regs, since you are so motivated.
