Am teaching myself to handroll cigars. I don't smoke. But maybe I will a few of these. My Grandfather grew tobacco, and I grew small amounts in Arkansas.



My family raised burley tobacco until the mid 90s when it became unprofitable. Nasty business, you get covered in a sticky gum, you get little green aphids (tiny insects) all over you. We finally quit when we realized that we'd make more per hour doing about anything else without the backbreaking work.

30 years ago, you literally couldn't drive anywhere outisde of city limits in East TN without seeing a tobacco crop, now it's a rarity.

Burley is what I grew in Arkansas.
