We are ordering a kit with 250 seeds, seems if we set a place in the

raccoons killed our last one a day before harvest. Seems they might not
be so interested in eating Tobacco so we'll see. Maybe I will have a
report in the fall...

I am waiting to see how that works for you. My ex's family all had a
tobacco quota (Anne Arundle County) and grew whatever they were
allowed to sell but it was very labor intensive according to them.,
The raccoons won't eat your tobacco but there are plenty of bugs and
worms that will. You have to manually deal with that because you don't
want to smoke poison.
There is also a drying process that impacts how good your smoke is.
I am not sure if any of those people are still alive but it would be
an interesting conversation if I could hook you up.
After a while my eyes glazed over but I am not a farmer.


Yeah, it looks like the hardest part might be the bugs and the rotting
(curing) of the finished product. Then you have to process the leaves
and grind them... There are lots of tricks out there but the cut is very
important to the roll and burn.
