I don't even use tobacco, but some friends do, and I like to grow things, and somehow got fascinated with tobacco. I ordered Goose Creek Red and Small Stalk Black Mammoth from sustainableseed and sprouted them last May or June. One Goose Creek now has leaves bigger than the palm of my hand, but some of his brothers haven't reached dime size leaves yet. The Mammoth isn't; biggest one is maybe dime size.
Been lurking and reading for a few months sucking up your collective wealth of knowledge, and enjoying the wit and humor along the way. I'm married to a librarian, our house is stuffed with books, everything from the complete works of Shakespeare to Machinery's Handbook to a parallel Old Testament in English, Hebrew, and Greek.
I live in a big city with about a 30 by 15 foot concrete patio with about 18 inches of dirt between the concrete and the fence and walls. Much of it is already occupied with camellias, grapes, a 40 foot avocado tree, 3 citrus trees, 2 boysenberries, a hybiscus tree, and a night blooming jasmine. There's a couple cherry tomatoes, an eggplant, a couple climbing beans, and a few okra, oh, yeah and 2 jalapenos along the pretty much north edge, which is against the garage. Now pots are taking over the patio. 5 tomato pots, 2 blueberry pots, several baby avocados, and a carrot pot, geranium, rose, and plumeria, and mint. Oh, yeah, and a couple orchids.
I'm sure I can fit a few tobacco plants in there somewhere, or on the front step. Giving some to friends to grow, too.
Thinking a couple might make nice office plants.
Mechanical things fascinate me, and I like making things. I think it would be cool to use a rolling machine to roll, say a 1 x 3 piece of leaf into a 3 inch long straw shape, then wrap 7 of them in binder/wrapper, making a hexagonal shaped cigarillo. The 7 could be different types, with, say, a Perique or Black Cavendish down the center, surrounded by lighter colored leaf straws and the whole thing wrapped in dark leaf, for a nice visual.
