Those tobacco plants are blowing my mind. I never knew they grew like that. I always assumed tobacco was a low growing plant. So very cool.
Nope, they get pritty tall. Those ones are about 5 and a half feet and growing. I love 'em. Especially the flowers.

IGG can I get some seeds of the tobaco? Do you let them go to seed or do you pick the buds too? or is it just the leaf that you smoke? and can you give me a basic run down of the drying process? ie hung and air dried or do you have to do weird stuff?
Yes, you can get seeds. Do I need to do a customs decleration for a seed package to you....? Do you want this years or last years? You'll have to wait a few months for this years seed.
I let them go to seed. You just smoke the leaves and here's your run down:
1. Read internet on how to dry.
2. Pick one of the many, many, many, many dring techniques. (seriously, there's alot)
or...this is how I do it:
1. After seed pods are ready, pull out plant.
2. Shake dirt off root ball.
3. Hang upside down in an area that will be warm and is as close to scent free as you can get.
4. Let cure for at least 6 months.
5. Pick leaves.
6. Smoke leaves.
7. In hale smoke only once or twice if growing Havana tobacco (which is what I'm growing). Smoke rest like cigar.
The reason for #3 is when curing, tobacco absorbs the scents around it. So if you dry it in a midew, pant can filled basement, the stuff going to taste pritty funky.
The reason for #7 is because it's "cigar tobacco". It's so high in nicotine that you'll get buzzed instantly from it and it's not ment to be inhaled....fun stuff....
Oh, side note, tobacco is a extremely mild halucinagin (little known fact) and the efects are greatly amplified in the cigar varieties. Best thing to do with this is mix a tiny tiny bit in with you pot and smoke it. This is a ancient Native American technique (that's what was in their "peace pipes")...works amazing.
. i really need to try out some hydro tobacco i hear it grows like...weeds.
