re: Anybody know about growing tobacco?

It's very doable. Tobacco likes sandy, acidic soils. Which might be a challenge depending on where you are. You can easily grow them in pots and create a perfect growing environment. Even go organic if you prefer.

You harvest in the fall. Like October I believe. And then hang the leaves upside down in a barn, attic, garage to dry for a couple of months. Then you can just shred it and roll your own smokes.

I know a couple of guys in Canada who do it. Cigs are really expensive there due to the taxes. I think they pay close to $10 per pack. So they grow and roll their own to save $$$$
