Question
I was wondering, what are the advantages and disadvantages of growing my own tobacco?
Is it healthier?
It it more riskier?
And The ones you buy at the store, mental light, Can you give me a site where to buy that kind?
Thanks so much
Alex,
Growing your own tobacco is much more difficult than growing things like vegetables. You have to have the right soil and climate, the right fertilizers... Once its grown, it has to be cured which is a long and skilled process. Nearly all tobacco products are made with a blend of tobaccos, so to achieve a common taste you'd have to grow multiple varieties.
There are many on line stores that sell tobacco. I assume you are looking for cigarette types - if so we do sell roll your own menthol - you can check out our site at www.finckcigarcompany.com
Thanks,
Bill

Expertise
I'm a fourth generation cigar maker and have spent 25+ years operating our factory as well as a mail order cigar company. I belong to cigar manufacturers associations as well as retail cigar associations so I'm usually up to date with current events relating to cigars. I've smoked the majority of brands on the market and would be happy to share my opinions of them with you. Since I live in the U.S. I have very little experience with Cuban cigars, but other than that I know a least a little bit about almost every brand of cigars on the market.
Experience
In addition to growing up in and now managing our cigar factory for 25+ years, I've spent time in many factories in Honduras, Nicaragua, The Dominican Republic and Mexico. BR>
