Hi :)

I am an almost 60-year-old man from Sweden. I am now in my third year as a tobacco grower. I have baked my own snus for about 12 years, but then with purchased tobacco flour, and last year I also made pipe tobacco from home-grown tobacco. The first year I grew 24 plants, last year 225 and this year I plan for about 120. I have really found the joy and pleasure of growing tobacco, and I look forward to what this forum can bring me. And maybe I can also contribute something in the future. That was a little about me :)

Welcome to the forum. You are already more experienced at growing tobacco than many of our forum members. Glance through our Index of Key Forum Threads (linked in the menu bar) for topics that may interest you. Feel free to start your own 2023 grow log (with lots of photos!) in the Grow Blogs forum. [I always suspected that there might be sunshine in Sweden.] I think your plan for 120 plants is ideal.
