As a non smoker , I would grow tobacco plant in my front yard as a symbolic middle finger at the government for the tax they charge. Its your choice to smoke & I don't care. But the price of everything is rediculas these days & most of it is tax.
Absolutely bro. Government only cares about benefits. I'll buy a house in a countryside and never go back to city.
I just ordered 500 seads for 5.95 on ebay
Non smokers don't need much to be offended that is why I stated that right up front!
Hi are you still alive
Yep. I'd rather have a cigarette in my mouth than a stick up my ass like most nonsmokers. 🤣
@@lionelmessi6857 I think the IRS had him whacked.
Thank you. I have been smoking rollies for 5 years been growing my own food and weed as well. Why the heck have I not been growing my own plants . I will be once this lockdown is done.
I could listen to the timber in your voice all day...velvet smooth
I am a non smoker who is looking into growing some. It is a tradition to grow it and they have pretty flowers, also tobacco tea sprayed in the garden makes a great organic pesticide.
Great story Larry !It is guys like you that make this country great!Thanks for the video and commentary!
Thanks!
Its all organic minus 250 chemicals the tobacco companies add!
That to meis The real reason to grow this plant.
Thank you so much man! I live in Michigan, and I thought for sure we COULDN'T grow this stuff! Because of this video I have taken a major interest in this. My grandparents roll their own and love humming birds. I'm not kidding when I say that they spend hundreds of dollars every year to get them to come to their garden.Thank you so much!
Larry,
I absolutely got to thank you for your frank, informative and well spoken video on growing tobacco. I am a pipe smoker and plan on getting into growing my own tobacco as well, if anything just for the experience. I purchased flue cured tobacco last year and pressed it myself into cakes and it came out great! Now I am going to knock out the middle man and grow the plants myself in 5 gallon buckets. Thanks for the tips
Thanks for watching my video! I appreciate that! Check out all my most popular videos by category on Pinterest! www.pinterest.com/larryhall50/
Top bloke Larry. It’s about getting out there and doing it. And you’ve done it. Rather than complaining about the high prices. You’ve found a way around it. 👏. Bravo x
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!
Yes tobacco has many uses besides just smoking it! the hummingbirds love the flowers!
Thanks for posting Larry you have a very soothing voice and I like your easy going attitude. Best wishes.
On the prepper front, this makes a lot more sense in 2024 than it did when you aired this video!!!!
You sir, are a real forward thinker!
You are the man Larry! Thanks for your direct, no-nonsense approach. Very informative for sure....
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.
I live in Canada and I'm inspired to grow here. I also do not smoke but getting a crop of tobacco looks really fun!
I get lots of information that helps me a lot in farming. Thank you so much. We are going to try growing our own tobacco now. GB
1 plant makes a carton of cigs! You do the math!
5 cartons g if you grow well
Great video & thanks for sharing! I smoke a pipe and have found that I go through much more tobacco than I thought I would and ended up going though all the tobacco that I grew in less than three months. Mid way through winter I ended up having to order some. So to those new to the craft of growing...always grow more than you think you will smoke. Once it cures it weighs considerably less than it does green. It's like wine, if cured properly it only gets better with age so you can never grow too much.
Larry, I've really become interested in tobacco for two reasons, first the bartering aspect I don't smoke myself but every other person I know does, and second you mentioned that humming birds love the flowers! I really enjoy watching hummingbirds even though as a child I was terrified of them! They looked like giant "DEATH BEES" to me when I was a kid,LOL! I hope I can get an envelope in the mail by Oct 1st and give this a try! Best Reguards to you AND your brother who I also enjoy.
My processing method is to take a stack of half leaves removed from the stem, fold over the pointy ends then roll it into a tube. Use scissors to cut the tube up then pull apart the pieces, which will be long thin strips. When it is drier rub it between your fingers so the strips roll up into strands...
One of the best videos on RUclips. I think it is terrible that people are being fleeced by the gov just because they smoke or drink. That isn't freedom. Again, you are a good man.
I'm in the state where if I don't have a job I can in the very least grow my own. With Menthol becoming illegal I'm going to grow my own Menthol blend with spearmint.
Plus if worst comes to worse it can be barter in shtf scenario. Thanks for the little nuggets.
Great video and information I’m going to order some seeds and start playing around with some. Never smoked tobacco but sounds interesting. I love growing new types of plants.
I'm going to add a small patch of tobacco this year to my vegetable garden I look forward to Rolling some very nice carrot twist and storing them away
Don't know? Its just Virginia Gold!
Great video, Larry. I'm not a smoker but have friend that do and I will tell them to check your video out. My brother adopted and adapted your gutter growing system and has a system set up in the basement. With LED UFO lighting the plants are doing great. Peppers blooming and tomatoes fruiting!
I grow it in Grand Rapids Michigan and it does fantastic.
You're awesome Larry. Thank you for the videos you post. They are appreciated!
U are the man d.i.y at its finest need more people like u to shut down corporate America
Larry I don't smoke but I raise a few plants in my garden for the beautiful flowers that bring humming birds and bees. You are right about if worst comes to us in USA we can trade tobacco. I told my daughter have some coffee also on hand even if you don't drink the stuff . Its good to trade. There is always call for tobacco. And nothing is added . Nice video!!
Great freaking video man!! ill tell ya.. i smoke black&milds and now since I got your seeds and is growing one already at my home, those cigarettes i buy in the store will no longer be in my hands. Home grown is definitely the best way out. Thanks for sharing
Even if you don’t smoke, the flowers smell really good at night, Nicotiona Alata!
Damn straight. Thank you. They raised the minimum price of a pack to 7 dollars here in CO
I hate smoking but have always raised tobacco in the garden. It's a beautiful tropical plant that flowers. It is also a medicine, It seems to control pain and itching. Also the rustica variety makes an effective insecticide. Once I used a loader tire as a pot to grow tobacco in. Smoking damages your body but my theory is that growing it in non-radioactive soil reduces cancer risk.
Great story. Just one suggestion - before you 'shred' the leaf, you should construct a device to slide each leaf across a stainless tray and against a thin blade. Removing the large vein will get the 'bark' out. Tobacco is a labor intense endeavor. But, the best end product will come from the amount of care given. From cover crop in fall to next years' harvest, always something to do. By the way, we 'prime' our leaves on trimmer string using a leather needle. When tobacco is cured, stems will be very dry. We typically artificially bring it in 'order' so leaf will be supple. Simple then to shave leaf from stem. Eliminate extra wood.
Those plants look great! I have thought about raising my own tobacco but I live in an apartment. I could grow a couple indoors, I have read online that it will work but not be as good as outdoors, but there is too much money involved with all the lights and the power bill will go up I'm sure and certain people may think I'm growing something else. But your plants look great and I applaud your efforts good sir.
plant just like you would tomatoes at the last chance of frost! takes about 70 days
45 days before last frost best to have grow lights unless you have a sunny spot!
Hey Larry
Thanks for posting this video.
Yes totally organic without the additives the cig makers add!
Great vid, Larry! I got into the same for hobby at first around '06, as a curiosity into the cigar making process. Now I get my seeds out every spring and the garden gets a little bigger every year. =D Only problem is that Texas summer and the lousy soil, but the fix was growing earlier and using rain buckets liberally. I found a great source few years ago with tons of great info on a cuban site about dark tobacco. I saved the pages but the site is gone now. Great hobby and a better money saver!
Oh yeah. Congrats and I wish you success with the Grow Bag Garden Systems company.
I am a non-smoker too, but like your friend I have decided that tobacco will be as good as gold in the economic crisis that is coming. I've got a non-electric rolling machine, ordered tobacco seeds, seedling trays, etc. What kind of tobacco are you growing, is it for cigs?
Same.
I will be posting a video soon when my seeds are ready where to send a SASE envelope for some free seeds!
My pleasure!
Thanks for the info! That’s a great idea about growing it for bartering, prob better then buying a bunch of whiskey for bartering
Thats what this videos for to inform not offend.. OK? Love it! Thanks for the video can't wait till spring comes here in Michigan
My pleasure!!
I just heard this morning that big brother is going to raise the tax $1.95 per pack soon. Larry, I'm in! Put my 3 bucks in the mail this morning. I just hope I don't have a problem with MI over getting tobacco seeds in the mail. Our delightful state government has made it against the law to send or receive tobacco products through the mail. Love your videos!
I suspected that now I have to get some seed before spring. Thanks for the reply.
Yup Its coming start raising it now!
Big Thanks Larry ! I too hope/want to grow my own starting next spring. If nothing else to supplement my RYO tobacco that I get online.
All the best !
Thanks a lot for yor videos Larry, I have just planted my seeds here in Sweden.
Awesome video! I would like to grow some & roll my own cigars for friends & family & to up the coolness in the DIY area
You are welcome!
Never even thought of it...Thanks for posting!
Fantastic videos you have done on how to grow tobacco. I also took a look at your sub irrigation systems like the rain gutter, hybrid and kiddie pool. I am curious, can you grow tobacco with the sub irrigation or does tobacco like dry feet?
Yes you are right on! You can bet it won't be long and they will tax pipe tobacco at the same rate! Time to grow your own!!!
So much wisdom
Good info! Live in Texas. I was wondering about growing tabacco. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the video I don't smoke tobacco I like to smoke weed so I'm attempting to grow tobacco this year and use the leaves to roll my weed in. We'll see how it goes if not it's good barter
getting ready to start the seeds you sent - Thank you again
I found the best is the camel turkesh blend royal but you have to take them out of the pack and let them sit outside the pack for 2 days
Great video! The way things are goin we all better start "growin' our own". I'm a pipe smoker only, & I have a bad feeling that due to the relabeling of the RYO stuff as "pipe" tobacco- pretty soon real pipe smokers are gonna get hit with the ridiculous cigarette style taxes. Good grief.
I've watched a few of your videos before. I congratulate you for your work. I am a pipe smoker. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find pipe tobacco in the country where I am. and that's why I have been struggling to grow my own tobacco for 2 years. But I could not control the fermentation process. My tobaccos that I grew before then either had a very bad taste or got mold. There was a small amount of golden virginia and golden burley tobaccos left from this year's harvest. I started to keep them in a small refrigerator at 30 degrees Celsius in a glass jar 2 days ago. How to make burley and virginia fermented pipe tobacco. I guess they are not much different from smoking tobacco. Can you help with this. Maybe you can prepare a video for the post curing process.
Great video, thanks larry. I'm going to start growing tobacco for pipes and possibly cigars.
This stuff germinates super easy
excellent video Larry, I´m smoker too and i believe this is an awesome alternative for those who don't wanna pay for expensive cigarettes anymore, thanks for sharing...
Interesting video! I'm no longer a smoker but growing up I was. I'm originally from Virginia and my mother worked in a cigarette factory for 20 years used to tell us if we knew what went in them we wouldn't smoke them so kudos to you for growing your own! I want a video on how you roll them! I take it they are filterless?
I like Virginia gold tobacco!
Nice one Larry. Good info here and glad it worked out well for you.
thank you larry for the great video this is something I've been contemplating myself as I am an avid pipe smoker and dad at cigar smoker I don't know if I wanna try a rolling my own cigar but definitely would probably try a girl in the plant and trading it and smoking it 1 of my pipes I watched a multiple of videos on this on youtube and that is something that is seriously starting to a peak my interest as some of the tobacco spit I purchased are well over 100 dollars a pound .
do you mind making a video on the steps of growing for ex: when to plant watering transplant timing and when to take them out to dry (and of course how to hand and dry and cut) I would really appreciate it im a decent gardener and would love to start growing where would I buy my first seeds or plants from? hope you get this and awesome video very inspiring and great points on why grow than buy lbs.
When the seed pods turn brown harvest them crack them open and you will see hundreds of seeds
OK Larry thanks for the reply, i have some sort of idea now.
Jc here in Cali am a non smoker and hate those lil sticks they smell and they are harmful. But you my friend are AWESOME!!!!!!!
Hey Larry, I hope I'm not to late to get in on your tobacco seed offer! I just found your video and I will get letter mailed out to you Monday, I also would like to chat with you about canning. I also live in Brainerd. Thanks for offer.
Thanks Mr Hall. Great video.
If you could i would like to see more about the diffrents forms of curing,
or which one you find the best.
Ha! In Australia up to $38 a pack!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND NOW! Obviously black market tobacco good video will be growing my own it’s legal here it’s also legal to make shine
Wow, I just learned a lot!
Yes It does!
Virginia Gold is a nice tobacco to raise try eBay you can order seeds there!
I'm an ryo guy and I wanna take it one step further. I'll send my envelope with the 3 bucks gladly. I'm excited to get started.
Great video champ
i'm raising my own tobacco (Virginia and Adonis) - seed and transplant - grows without any special needs.
greetz from EU
Yes you can!!!!!!!!
Grows 7 feet tall pretty cramped for an apartment! use the search bar on my channel and type tobacco you will see all my video's on how to raise tobacco!
go to my main channel page and in the search bar on the top right type tobacco and you will see all my video's about tobacco
Love Ya Larry! More power to Ya!
I just came across this video. Im very interested in growing my own tobacco. Thank you for the videos. I know it is years later,but would you be willing to make new videos,in case you do anything differently now? Thank yiu
Best video I've seen great good and thanks for the info
I just use cow or horse manure and lots of it! Also tobacco loves wood ash! Ph don't know never checked it!
Stole my idea!
I've been thinking that for years but I thought it only grew in semi tropical environments.
If I was still smoking and drinking fucken eh I would be making my own.
I hope more people do this, 10 bucks a pack is insane.
I'm not advocating people smoke, but I'm willing to bet smoking organic tobacco is not going to be near as harmful as the shit their selling now, who knows if its even tobacco.
Ive never smoked before, but just the other day I was wondering if cigarettes were actually not bad for you without all the added chemicals and pesticides. Im to try planting tobacco now and smoke it.
when u grow tobacco and process it to be ready to smoke...how long does it last and what do u use to store tobacco. Does it last for years, months , weeks?? I am watching now most of the videos to get an idea of stuff. My daughter smokes and pays over 70.00 a week on packs and she buys it to tube still cost her a pretty penny. Me I'm non smoker, but for bartering it will be great. and for my daughter it will keep her cost down.
great video man
Thanks, Larry!
People should grow their own tobacco, and hand roll their own cigarettes, cigars and pipe tobacco. It is an act of revolution against ridiculous government taxation and giant corporate monopolies.
I don't smoke. I quit 12 years ago. I'm growing to sell.
Thanks
