How hard is this? I would like to have a couple growing out in my cigar area.. any tips would be great. I know there was a thread somewhere, but I cant find it

Apparently not all that difficult. There are quite a few forums dedicated to information on it. I haven't tried yet, but probably will this year. I've been reading www.howtogrowtobacco.com and www.fairtradetobacco.com Both have a wealth of information and info on how to obtain seeds. A lot of tobacco varieties have beautiful flowers and are somewhat ornamental.

last summer I started some seedlings and planted a few pots. Just watered often, and they grew like weeds!

I read an article a year or so ago from I think cigar aficionado or maybe another magazine but anyhow some guy did an extensive write up on how he grew his own tobacco to them make cigars. From reading it I really got the idea that it is rather hard. Apparently he did a good job as when he had his cigars rolled the roller was rather impressed with the tobacco.

I'm sure once you harvest, curing/fermenting is a WHOLE differnt ball game. I am hesitant to try all that.
