Wow i bet that was the best smoke you ever had, having grew it and all! I smoke about 1 packet of Old Holborn per week. But my wife smokes 6 packs of Bensons a week. How can i calculate how many plants I,ll need? Where did you learn how to do it like what sites are the best? Thanks enjoy that smoke dude lol
SURE does feel good to be able to grow ones own.and not be so G @D dam dependant on the commercial growers. HUM.grow you own food your own BACCY.who needs the dam gov
Why did you decide to toast the tobacco? I understand that toasting does add a certain flavor characteristic to tobacco, but usually only burley leaves are toasted.
this is just a real american (im guessin he's american) doing what americans do -- if they ban it or tax it, we say SCREW YOU GOVERNMENT! I'll do it myself!
@japierce15 I think he,s from the uk dude i can tell by the electric plugs. But us brits are the same as you guys over the pond we are sick to death of paying like 8 quid for a packet of smokes I,m gonna grow my own too.
@27simber there is a cancer for everything. stop attacking ppl. i have lost loved ones over so many different types of cancer, this included. dry cleaning, what you put under your arms not to smell, even the air you breathe. I feel where you are coming from but please do not berate someone who is just trying to relate to this.
@samljer cigarettes don't cause cancer. if they did, everyone who ever smoked just one would have gotten cancer. My grandmother has lung cancer and she never ever ever ever ever ever smoked. Ain't that something.
BTW, i never smoked either. Didn't say it was healthy ;)
@slipdip1 No. Tobacco is actually healthy assuming your body is up for a stresser. The problems come from fucked up unhealthy people using it in massive amounts.
I read recently that the fed gov't is planning to halt the sale of cigars online.Just like cigarettes. Then raise the praise to the point where it will be too expensive to afford in stores. All for the sake of healthcare. To me that's bullshit. I mean this in a non rascist way. Let mexicans come to america. They can have our gov't. We can move to mexico were they don't have to deal with such an idiot gov't and president. Obama is satan in disguise. He is a cancer to this country!
do you take some precautions against molding when curing the tobacco? that is the only thing i am worried about, would be a bitch if the tobacco would mold after all the hard work:(
Just a few questions regarding the actual growing phase- I take it you're in the U.K from the title of your first vid- did you grow it indoors? If not did you grow them in summer? (Take it they won't survive the British winter) What strain of tobacco was it? How long do you bake it and at what temp?
Sorry. I'm a complete novice, but I need to do it! £6 per box is daylight robbery!
It was pressed and baked to because he was using the pipe-tobacco Cavendish method. Cavendish tobacco is more a "processing" and not a type, though usually it's Virginia Burl or others. I'm interested what it was he sprayed it with (ie. rum or cherry juice) before pressing. I'm very interested on the taste. How'd it taste, spiracy?
why did you bake your tobacco? the brick and cuttiing I get, but why the oven bit? I am growing my own for the second year this season, and you can cure, ferment age, brick shred and smoke without baking.....is there an advantage that I have missed?
oven temp I used: 120oC for 20mins (experimental) because its wrapped in tin foil it steam fuses the flavour in (I found), flavour I used was alcohol first batch was Wild Turkey aged 8 years 50% alcohol 101 proof. Tasted just like port royal whiskey, but with a more fresher taste and drag. depending on what you like you could experiment with anything wine, rum, tequila, etc. As for the cutting kit I've just bought another one today I live in NZ tho so google cuthof click 2nd link ship internatnl
Thank you for the useful tips .. for growing tobacco, I just started last year, so I always meet good advice ... the way I live in Slovakia :)... you have any chance e-mail address? if I had a problem with something so I would like to consult with you: D. .. thank you yet
good video. thanks friend . im trying to get started myself and i found this very inspiring to watch . we all gotta start growing it no doubt about it, the taxes are just fucked. cant keep up with the prices. sick of paying through the nose for shit. i got an area in my basement set up and ready to go but now all i need is seeds. know where i can get em?
He is wetting (either with a flavour eg whiskey, or water) the air dried / smell cured leaves to be molded into a brick to be put through a cutter. The oven bit is to dry the brick somewhat and to burn off any alcohol, The mold brick and grinder are from the "Cuthof cutting kit" designed especially for tobacco (available in stores). The hand grinder perfectly shreds the tobacco, you may also need to further dry the tobacco once shredded to a burning stage, fan dry on some cardboard does this.
Believe it or not, that's all the moisture coming out of the leaves. The tobacco has to be wet so it can be molded into a brick before it can be cut. The mold squeezes out all the moisture.
do they taste different ???? :D My friends will use the word to mean the same think as just smoking a cigarette . The dictionary also states multiple meaning, and as a slang. I imposed this question, because i thought there is a general distinction in medical field, thats all. : ) have a high smoking day .
If you want the buzz like a major brand cigarette gives you, you need to add ammonia. Alot healthier without though. The ammonia makes the nicotine a freebase form and that's the major diff between cigar and cigarette filler
@BatspindaVL Of course. Assuming its smoked, any substance contains "Tar" (the actual term is soot). Soot is the primary "bad thing" in tobacco. All tobaccy contains nicotine as well, the primary "good thing" in tobaccy.
Check out w w w . seedman . c o m for seeds and the press and grater he uses. I have seeds on order, a carton of Marlboros is $65 now where I live. Thanks Obama!
Depends what brand, as peterjackson roll-your-own has a menthol tobacco out, and i just take a rizla and roll it up, taste exactaly like there menthol taylor mades. So i assume they spray down the tobacco/tubes ect in the process.
im a newbie on the whole homegrown tobacco stuff. I've ordered seeds, and i dont think i'll have any problems growning them.. but i have no idea how to cure it. I want some of my own tobacco to roll cigarettes with. Can you please tell me how i cure tobacco? for my own rolling backy. Thanks, any1 plz help! :)
i am growing pot plants right in my desk dwar i have ten fouls all on the out side and i have a UAV lamp in there and a lil fan. im going to try to grow tobacco.
Very cool.......I live in North Carolina and grew up on a tobacco farm. We were a small farm, only about 25 ac. of tobacco. When I was growing up I would cure some leaves and role some cigars every year. You'r video is a cool way to grow your own. Keep it up!
I have two questions. At what temperature do you run your kiln at and also, Lets say you are doing 50lbs of tobacco how do you store your tobacco after it has been run through the kiln?
Hey i grow my own tobacco too. But i got a question. My tobacco has been hung for two weeks and still the color is green. I think it should be already yellowish-brown or smth.
And what was the heat, when you put your tobacco in foil paper and put in oven?
It really depends on the type of tobacco as each type can contain more water than others. Additionally, the hanging method and and curing process can differ depending on the average temperature in our area.
I live in maryland and harvest in early/mid august with a daily average temp between 80-90 and an average humidity in the same ballpark. I air cure my tobacco for cigars and pipes. You can hang the entire plant, or just the leaves. I found that the best method (for broad leaf, sacred, and monte calm) is once the leaves are harvested place them in a hot water bath (just below or at boiling), and add 2 to 3 cups of bourbon (flavor and removal of bugs, eggs and the sticky sap).
After the bourbon/water bath, I hang the leaves on wire in my shed. The bath helps break down the cell walls a bit and absorbs the bourbon. This effectively kills the leaves, and the drying process is sped up. After just a few days the yellow/browning takes over. Hanging green leaves or plants without the bath will leave you open to worms and increased browning time due to the live plant. I one hung a full plant roots up from the shed, it bloomed for 4 months without water. So you can see why!
that little bit from 16 plants that take alot of room.. and took 8 weeks.. dude i'd rather just buy tabacco.. but okay it could be a hobby6 of yours. not something for me.
I hate the fact that its illegal to grow your own in places, its like, "we have it you dont and we want the profits off of the plants you can grow yourself". I know its not for health reasons they deny ya otherwise they'd put a limit on your buying them. Those money grubbers. I'd love to grow them myself, but given the economy I think its better I get used to the idea I need to quit
What country you live in? Here in America it's legal for personal usage, as long as you don't make a profit off of it. So unless you're a plantation selling several tons to a corporation, you can't afford to make a business out of it.
hello, really glad i found your video .. would appreciate if u have some more details, what conditions it needs to grow, outdoors too ? what seeds - where to get em etc
Great video and ingenuity. Anyway, why don't you shred the leaves when they are green and then dry them out? Wouldn't that be faster? I don't smoke (anything) but think this is interesting. nice goin'
The drying process is helped along with a breeze. In the first video you can see the fans working. I ran them for 4 hours a day. If the leaves are shreaded they would blow away. The sap within the plants stalk is acidic and would destroy the lot.
fair fucking play to you :) at least your not paying stupid amounts for your cigs

I one hung a full plant roots up from the shed, it bloomed for 4 months without water. So you can see why!

I sprayed a mix of honey and water.
Honey helps the tobacco to retain moisture.

I hate the fact that its illegal to grow your own in places, its like, "we have it you dont and we want the profits off of the plants you can grow yourself". I know its not for health reasons they deny ya otherwise they'd put a limit on your buying them. Those money grubbers. I'd love to grow them myself, but given the economy I think its better I get used to the idea I need to quit

What country you live in? Here in America it's legal for personal usage, as long as you don't make a profit off of it. So unless you're a plantation selling several tons to a corporation, you can't afford to make a business out of it.

that was amazing! can you buy seeds/cuttings legally in the uk or do you need to get them online? and do you need uv lights for them to grow? cheers!

all you need is sunlight. I feed the plants with organic liquid seaweed to give them a good boost.

Great video and ingenuity. Anyway, why don't you shred the leaves when they are green and then dry them out? Wouldn't that be faster? I don't smoke (anything) but think this is interesting. nice goin'

The drying process is helped along with a breeze. In the first video you can see the fans working. I ran them for 4 hours a day. If the leaves are shreaded they would blow away. The sap within the plants stalk is acidic and would destroy the lot.

Question is how much did all that gear cost?
You could of just got up off yer arse and bought a packet of cigar-fucking-rettes MWHAHAHA!!!!

£20 for curing chamber poly.
£35 for oil heater
£10 for fan
£20 thermohydrometer
shreader is optional since there are many ways to cut the tobacco.
a press can be made of a few bits of wood with a G clamp.
This year onwards my only cost will be compost, but since i have a compost bin....
