This was our first year growing tobacco. We got seeds from the 1,000 year tobacco plant.

Now what do we do with it?

I'm experimenting with tobacco too. 😊

Any plans for it?

I'm hoping to try my hand at rolling a few cigars. I'm currently in a yellowing/drying phase with it.

lots of pesticide

For sure. I'm going to put some tar on it along with 1000's of chemicals and then smoke it.

Dont know anything about it, but it looks very healthy.

It’s got to be hung and dried right? That’s a thing isn’t it?
