Tobacco.

You are twisting my arm here! I'll have to have a go now won't I. (I'm already on google haha!) Think I'm paying £4.85 for 12.5g of Amber here

 

Only Draw Back, The Farmer lost all his friends and family,
The smell from his breath was Honking. .

 

Not sure if ive got seeds left,can look thou on sat when i see daylight im off work but there should be a thread on here too if you search it.
We have sold thorough all our small boxes,it wont be long until you cant buy them everywhere as the production will have stopped im sure by now.
i can only get amber,golden virginia and gold leaf now in the new larger new packets when i order from Blakemores/spar.

 

My allotment 2013 golden virginia @Linz

 

Thanks Joolz, I've found the thread and reading through. Grow you own tobacco. Good read No worries about seed I'll get some myself, other half and my grandfather will be impressed with this!

So are they restricting the brands as well?

 

That is awesome! Might take on the other 5 free plots now haha!! £££££

 

I think they are struggling to produced the new stock of most brands quick enough so we have product gaps in our cabinets,not sure if its a problem just from our supplier thou,maybe tescos and huge retailers will be 1st on list for new stock until demand can be filled on other retail planograms.
I might grow some this yr,bees love the flowers too

 

That's crazy, you would of thought they'd be on the same page as the government? Bet grow your own will be massive this year.

Did you (or anyone else who tried it) find one type better than the other out of burley, golden vag and the other one?

 

I grew different varieties to blend them if i wanted too,ive never searched amber leaf seed so no idea what blend of leaves that is..one to google
Burley is a stronger taste as i remember so maybe more on the par as marlboro maybe,no of them will taste like shop bought as there are no added chemicals in the process

 

Ok will have a look and thank you! I'll be bugging you come drying/curing time

 

Soon as you get your seed sow them indoors,head starts can be a great help when it comes to cut down weather wise ,i had to do mine on washing line on sunny spells one yr
Inbox me anytime x
i think ive still got some boxed up on the wardrobeil need a sack of horse muck or spuds for that 2yrs on

 

I pay £3.99 for 12.5g of Gold Leaf, or £7.85 for the 25g pouch. The shop owner reckons the 30g pouch will be around £9.25.

 

Or new 30g gold leaf are now more expensive than amber & GV!!,no idea if thats a pricing fault or if its now going to be the same everywhere,im going into town tomo so im going to do some quizzing in tesco to compare their prices on their stock.

 

I last tried to grow the stuff in that very wet year when we had the floods in Somerset, slugs ate the lot of it

 

I'm actually wondering whether to grow it in the garden or the allotment.. think I'll go with garden first off. A) so I can see how it does/if I can grow it B) Just incase it's frowned upon on the lotties.
If I can grow it successfully in the garden I'll have a bash at it on the lottie regardless of peoples' opinions next year. Hoping to get my plot under control first and I think it'll be too small for 5ft tall plants as it's already laid out in 5ft wide beds. There is however, a plot opposite that has not got beds..soo see how I'll do.

I have ordered Burley from Chiltern seeds £2.22 (not sure how many)
500 golden vag seeds for £3.00 from uktobaccoseeds.co.uk
no idea if thats good or bad so.. anyhoo we'll see.
