Do you sell seeds and how much

[larrylhall]

@ScarfaceSinaloa I give seeds away to my subscribers!

[cbohar84]

Sixty seven dollars a pound? I dont think so

[larrylhall]

@cbohar84 Oh yes! cigarette tobacco went to 67 dollars then a lot of companies relabeled it to say pipe tobacco which is taxed at a different rate! 24 dollars.

[oldstock1607]

Right on. This was the first profitable crop grown on North American soil. even if you don't smoke, there's no crop more American than tobacco.

[larrylhall]

@oldstock1607 Tobacco was the number 1 exported crop from America for the first 100 years of our country!!! You are so right!!! Thanks Larry

@Mystickneon Pasta maker works great! I had aphids too don't worry they don't hurt anything! Try virginia gold very smooth!

[larrylhall]

@MrBuckwilliam It went from 14 dollars to 67 dollars then the tobacco companies relabeled it and called it pipe tobacco which is priced at a different rate now it is 24 dollars still to high when you can raise your own for free!!!!

[MrBuckwilliam]

larry did you say $67 per pound or 6 or 7 dollars O_O

[larrylhall]

@YoLninYo It is and it also is a great barter item just like silver, commodities or anything of value!

[YoLninYo]

It's probably better for you if you're going to smoke anyway. The kind of crap they put in the commercial tobacco is pretty awful.

I attempted to grow my own two years ago... and aside from an aphid infestation towards the end(which infested my hot pepper plants, as well), the growing phase was a success. My plants were in semi-shade and ended up about five feet tall. My major issue was finding a way to shred the leaves once cured... not to mention the curing process itself. What I ended up with was fairly harsh, but still smokable. Note: DO NOT use a food processor to try and shred tobacco!

@Maddawwg45 You are right on!!!!!!

[larrylhall]

@Maddawwg45 You are so right!!!!!!!!

[Maddawwg45]

@larrylhall dont wait to speak out people or when they come for you or your things u enjoy it will be to late cause they'll be no one left with any freedoms to speak out for you !!

[Maddawwg45]

@larrylhall remember this poem First they came for the communists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak out because I was Protestant.

Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.

[larrylhall]

@Maddawwg45 You are so right!!! They want to decide about everything!!! What they deem good or bad for you!!! People have got to wake up before all our freedoms are gone!!

[Maddawwg45]

there trying to excessive tax premium cigars too, its well known that the added chemicals in cigarettes is what bad for u other wise its just organically grow tobacco leafs so if ppl dont stand up to stop excessive taxation on tobacco then how long before they are excessivley taxing something you do enjoy like wine ,or soda pop or bacon or butter cause the government has declared it " bad for you "how did the human race ever survive before the government came along to tell us whats best for us ?

[larrylhall]

@wtf0804 All states you can bet in the next couple of years it will really go up as straped as the states are for money!!!

[wtf0804]

Is it just your state the price of tobacco is going up or is it all the states?

[larrylhall]

@Keesolan I suppose anything is possible

[Keesolan]

I'm not a smoker so if this is a stupid question I apologize ahead of time. Why not plant a half dozen cotton plants and use the raw cotton as a filter and stop buying the tubes? I picture a piece of rolling paper, fluff of cotton at one end, and the tobacco the rest of the way. Possible?

[larrylhall]

@usframe Thanks and good luck!

[usframe]

not cigarette smokers here, and am always hoping no one does, but! over the years we smoke and enjoy cigars and pipes. I know, perhaps only minimally better in the amount of bad side effects. Anyway, we had fooled with growing some plants indoors this year. Will be posting an update soon. Yep, when it comes to being self sufficient, that is award winning what you are doing.
