Hi. I am Patrick. I have never been involved with tobacco growing before, but my family and I are interested in growing tobacco and eventually have our own brand of cigars. All intended to be a small operation. We are at least a couple of years out from beginning to grow tobacco commercially and several more years out from having the first cigar ready for sale. Currently in the research phase. Lots of very interesting information in this website. I have been ready here for a couple of months and decided to join.
Thank you for this great forum!

Welcome Patrick! Lots of great people & info here to assist with the journey. It sounds like there’s a big undertaking about to commence. I’d peruse a lot of the “grow blogs” members post up to start. Ask questions and post pics of plants & cigars!

Welcome to the forum. Do read the New Growers' FAQ, and scan through the topics in our Index of Key Forum Threads. Both are linked in the menu bar.

You may want to explore the details of your local, state and federal requirements for offering a tobacco product (e.g. cigars) for sale. The trend over the past 3 decades has been the collapse of cigar manufacturing within the US.

Kentucky has a pretty good pedigree for tobacco! Welcome aboard.

Sounds like an ambitious yet worthwhile quest. Can you bring the American Cigar back? I'll buy some!
