Hello from suburbanRVA

[tmbutler]

Okay- the bug bit me and I’m anxious to start up growing tobacco for the very first time! I am a recently acquired pipe smoker, so naturally I’d like to start with something in that direction. We have had a box garden in the yard for the last few years, but certain that the tobacco will likely be grown along the property edge.
SSOO- any suggestions on where to get seed, what type to grow, essentials for curing, etc...please share the wealth. Thanks!

A guy just asked the same question earlier, here’s the thread:

Looking for advice on varieties / Pipe tobacco

Hi, I'm a pipe smoker and I'm going to grow for the first time this year. What varieties do you recommend to produce decent homemade pipe tobacco?

It’s a great hobby and saves $$$$. Enjoy the journey.

Welcome to the forum. Read the New Growers' FAQ, and scan through the topics in our Index of Key Forum Threads. Both are linked in the menu bar. I suppose "RVA" stands for Richmond, VA.
