Really enjoyable video. Great looking flake and you're right there is far too much 'science' talk spoken about growing and processing your own tobacco. I'll give your plastic bag fermenting idea a go with the first batch of leaves I've just cured.

Lars Kiel Hi Lars , sorry I missed this. Definately give it a try, perhaps consider growing in buckets or tubs so you can move around for best sun and conditions. Good health my friend

I started growing my own in Massachusetts this past year, four varieties, two Burley and two Virginia. I had zero experience. I bought seed on eBay from a farm in Kentucky. I over-planted because I had no idea how easily these plants take hold and, as you say, basically grow themselves. I ended up weeding out 90% of my baby plants because I had no room for them all. The sand-like seed has about a 95% viability rate, like grass. You have to plant them with soft tweezers so you only drop one or two at a time in the peat starter pods. I transferred them into small plastic pots, which they quickly outgrew. By the end of the season, the plants I ended up with were healthy but small and not quite fit for harvest, so I just kept the new seed (got a TON of seed). I have already mapped out next year's crop. Bigger, better pots, suitable soil, proper bamboo sticks, much simpler fertilizers. Your video has encouraged me greatly! Thanks! =^-.-^=

hi, quick question, can u use Bailey's in the fermentation process? or does the milk in it causes the tobacco to mold?

@glenharland5287 4 жыл бұрын

Hey mate, I got the same setup as you with an identical press. How did you sort out the press releasing by itself? I was thinking about using pliers or something to tighten the chuck but I don't want to wreck it. Or maybe too much pressure? Do you think the pressure needs to be moderate to begin with and increased a little each day? *UPDATE* BRAND NEW PRESS HAD TOO MUCH HYDRAULIC FLUID AND WAS FULL OF AIR. GO FIGURE.

@@franjosiranovic9489 Thanks for the recommendation its even aviable here in germany at one shop. Its interesting how many variants there are and this dosent help sometimes. I want to also grow 2 cigar sorts so i definitly need a kiln. The good thing is that i can use it also a flue cure kiln for the virginias. If the weather is right i maybe try sun curing. Pipe making is also an interesting hobby. I read also quiet a bit about it and i would love to make a similiar pipe to the Lord of the Rings Gimli Pipe, but this will also not happen anytime soone :D Firstly i will try to make some good virginia flakes + i also want to grow burley and 3 orientals and have some cigar leaf to roll.

Hey Brother, really enjoyed that mate. You Kiwi boys are lucky being able to grow you own. We'd get into a lot of trouble here in Australia. We've got to be creative to get pipe tobacco here we can afford. Anyways, I've subbed you dude. Yep, hang loose. Regards, Kevin.

Do you inhale the smoke when using a pipe?? Or do you just spit it out like you do with cigars?? Great looking stuff by the way....made me really wanna try it and I had to roll a quick one just to finish the video lol.

@User-1543 4 жыл бұрын

Phangz 83 it’s up to the smoker. Some people inhale and some don’t. To me it’s just like inhaling a cigar, harsh lol

@imalamboman12 3 жыл бұрын

To get the effects of tobacco, you do not need to inhale. The contact of the smoke with your mouth and nose is enough.

use fresh unpasteurized honey, it's antibiotic and will no allow any mold to grow, get it from a local bee-keeper, and I have to ask, do you smoke this or chew it? or possibly both?

@GlueFist 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks Mike, I have been using unpasteurized honey lucky enough to get from a good source mixed with a little distilled water, still get some mould though I think more a case of just getting the right amount of drying time before I cellar it. And to answer your question, it's to smoke..pipe smoke specifically. Thanks for the tip
