Anyone on here know how to grow tobacco and then turn it into chewing tobacco?

Nancy asks…
Is growing my own Tobacco and smoking with no added chemicals better then buying it from the store?
So, i’m looking into growing my own tobacco and I want to know, will it be better for me than buying it from a gas station. It’ll be smoked, most likely it’ll end up being a cigar, but it’ll be straight from the plant, no added chemicals. Will it be better and still addictive?
GardenersCardiff answers:
You may be undertaking a little more then you may want to.
I mean the tobacco in gas stations may be crap but it has been honed over years and years to be as crappy as it is today. The curing process alone is mind-boggling. Fun! But mind-boggling. Your tobacco may not taste good the first few plants. Especially if you have never grown a plant before. As for it being better, as i said tobacco companies took years to make their stuff and your just starting. They do all types of soil testing and ph testing. So it would be hard to say. As for the nicotine, cigarettes contain 10% nicotine. Tobacco naturally grows with any where from .05% to 3% Nicotine, depending on the strain. The other is added by the company along with other chemicals. So your first cigar probably wont taste good, smell good, and will have less nicotine. Overtime you should be able to make something more palatable but thats the fun of growing your own.
