You Have Tread On Me You Have Tread On Me's Profile	Posted: Fri Jun 18, 2010 8:13 pm Now, this is what I need. I love a good robusto (dominican with a conn. shade leaf wrap). plus it's illegal to grow in canada unless you get all kinds of permits etc. they don't like anyone growing their own cigar leafs and cheating them out of their 300% tax on them.

Way to bring back nightmares johnny.

Gawd I hated picking those worms off of the plants!

Getting it down from the drying barn almost white with pigeon crap was no fun either.

I think those experiances are why I've never smoked.

It sucked actually; never ever get the juice from the green plant in your eyes...thought i was blinded. The old tobacco barns are still standing, just not used anymore You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

So far so good. Harvest is just beginning. I am hoping this will be a unique variety that will blend well with a Burley that a contract farm is growing on down the road a few miles.

http://pipesmagazine.com/python/pipe-tobacco/pipe-tobacco-storage/

A lot of pipers wonder if and how they can store their pipe tobacco. There are ways to store your tobacco and it will last for years and if done properly, it will allow the tobacco to age and this is a good thing. Aging a tobacco allows the blend to 'marry' together for awhile longer sometimes creating a slightly different taste than what the blend originally started off as. But seeing as this article is not about aging, but storing, let me begin.
