HELLO From Hawaii

Aloha
I'm just a regular cigar enthusiast and pipe collector, a fellow connoisseur of the leaf. Being on an island taxes are high and generally things aren't available ( SO a lot of ordering or DIY bending) lol

Cheers

Welcome to FTT Mr. Tsunoda.
Do you plan on growing your own tobacco too ?

Welcome to the forum. Rumor has it that your part of the world might be suitable for growing a tropical plant...say, tobacco! (We've got members growing their own tobacco in the frozen north, the arid desert and places in between. And in Hawaii, you are missing several prominent tobacco pests. Peek at the New Growers' FAQ.) But ordering whole leaf is a painless and truly fun way to go.

Hey thank you
I do plan on growing some Burley for virginia down the road since the soil here seems ideal but I need to find some space first. Work in progress!

Thank you! I plan on testing out how the soil here will affect the flavors of the leaf but work in progress! Cheers

P.S there's a gentleman by the name of Les in Kauai growing and producing cigars. I'd love to get into that but I'm basically akin to a poor college student haha

Welcome from Texas! Growing is a lot of fun, and I’m sure anywhere in the islands the soil will be fine as it’s not a very picky plant.
