Out here in the middle of nowhere.

I bet this nap is the best ever.

A great evening for a fire.

I had a buddy in high school whose dad found his pack of cigarettes. Made him smoke the entire pack as a way to punish and try to break him of smoking. He just got better at hiding them.

Nice view this evening.

I bet we can work something out.

I hang dry for 6 weeks, cure for another 4-6 weeks at 70% humidity with 65-70 F temperature. This batch I flavored with vanilla, whiskey, maple syrup then steamed for 2 hours at 195 F. Packed tight in a jar for a week at 100 F. Air dried and just ran through the pasta machine. It’s a process but worth the effort for a smooth pipe smoke.

Turns out that a pasta machine makes a terrific tobacco cutter!

Yes, it is hard cider. Been fermenting for several weeks.

First batch of cider bottled. Hoping it’s not rot gut when I try it in a couple of months.

Started a whiskey vanilla maple cavendish yesterday. It’s my first attempt so hopefully it’s smokable when I’m done. I have plenty of leaf to experiment with so I’ll keep at it until satisfied.

Been growing my own tobacco for two years. Saving seeds and have some buddies doing the same now. Thought I’d enjoy a taste on this fine afternoon.
