Hello to all you fellow smokers and thank you for letting me join in.
I'm a subsistence hunter/fisherman/logger (read: river-rat) living in a remote village in the Middle Yukon valley,one of (many) regions of AK accessible only by air and water.
A friend had suggested i join this valuable resource knowing of my outrageous attraction to tobacco. Indeed the collective wisdom here was obvious after only a few minutes of reading,and i can think of Many questions to ask of this august assembly and will,once i read what's already been written so as to not waste anyone's time,and thank you all in advance.
My smoking experience is Very great,so is my consumption of the weed,and my knowledge of growing it-but especially of curing the home-grown product-practically zilch.
Tobacco will grow here ok in spite of my dwelling less than 100 miles from the Arctic circle,and i have grown some once from the seed sent by a benevolent pilgrim, only to Utterly fail to turn it into anything smokable afterwards for lack of even the basic info.
The tobacco that i prefer (as in really can't seem to find any acceptable substitute for) is Bugler, and i probably must apologize for such low-brow taste but here we have it. From what little i understand it's an American Light Burley of some general sort,+ whatever beastly treatment they subject it to at the factory process.
Frankly i don't hold out much hope to being able to completely substitute it with something i can grow+cure myself as i half-suspect that it's the treatment that i find so comfortingly attractive (addictive?
).
But again,i look forward to starting to educating myself on the matter so as to try to ask some questions of the knowlegeable folk here.
Thanks again and cheers, Jake
