Growing Your Own Tobacco

These forums are chock-full of useful and interesting information on how to grow your own tobacco. And not just grow — but cure, protect from pests, and most everything else; the whole shebang. There’s a wealth of information from experienced people on how to use this wicked weed to make snuff, chew, cigarettes, and/or cigars. Personally, I prefer delicious hand-made cigars. Whatever your preferences may be, it’s nice not to be dependent on taxed, licensed, regulated companies and suppliers. For one thing, these companies pass down the costs of these “lovely” taxes, licenses and regulations unto consumers, yet do not necessarily add enough value (when they add any at all!) to justify the higher price. For another thing, growing your own goes hand in hand maximizing your own practical sovereignty and everyday freedom. It’s also something to be proud of.

As the saying goes, if you want something done right, do it yourself! That can definitely apply here. (Of course, there’s nothing wrong with honest help from friends, but you get the idea!)
