Hello all,
I have already browsed the forum a bit and am very excited to have found this community. I have been enjoying cigars for several years now. My wife and I recently purchased an old farm property in western Pennsylvania with the intent to move our family there. Since we now have the space for a garden after several years of not being able to garden, I decided to also do a test run with some tobacco plants alongside the usual vegetables. We have been bordering on drought conditions all summer here but despite that, and despite getting everything set up from scratch (grow lights, fencing, tiller) and running painfully late, my 22 tobacco plants are doing okay and are currently 3 to 5 feet high. I have some PA broadleaf, FL sumatra, CT broadleaf, PA red, a couple Havana varieties, and Dominican wrapper, which I acquired by seed from Victory seed company. I know time is fast approaching when I need to figure out what to do with these leaves so that, hopefully, in a few months, I might have some homegrown cigars. So I will be pouring through all the info in this forum in a mad scramble to get up to speed! I appreciate you all being here to share your knowledge and experience.
