I grew up on a tobacco farm in eastern NC. Worked in it every year until I was 22. Its the hardest job I've ever done but I miss it.

can you successfully home cure it? i keep hearing varying reports from , i did it in 12 weeks...to it needs 5 years in a barn at the exact humidity/temp.

luckily my climate seems perfect for it, at least for the next 7 months.

What type of tobacco are you growing? Are you making cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco? Most importantly, why? Unless you smoke a few dozen packs a day, I can't imagine you'd be better off growing your own rather than buying cigarettes from the quikie mart.
