Mad South African Plant "Scientist"

[Maximus Helix]

Hi Everyone,

New here but I have been reading here for long. Excuse my english as it is my Second/Third language, Afrikaans is my Home language and doesn't always translate fluently and Im sure other south africans here would agree ... so be warned.

Right, so Im a pipe smoker thats not big into pipes but Im big into tobacco, over the past 20 odd years of smoking I've tinkered and tested with our local blends and tobaccos as well as a few "fancy" foriegn ones. Being a Diy kinda guy Im more interested in mixing/blending/casings and toppings and the machinery and history that goes along with it. Botany is also a big hobby of mine but up to now I haven't tried growing tobacco . I Hope to in the near future depending on what seeds/plantlings I can get.
