OoooOOOOOOoOOOooooooo...!!

It's a good thing you've got a Rare Orange Guard Cat because that is some serious leafing going on there!

Thanks for the update, Darling Richard!

THIS is what I needed to see! Magnificent!

Homegrown's all right with me.
I'm looking forward to reading your review.

Thanks for the encouragement.

They are resting for now and they do smell great. They are a bit soft as I rolled them on the loose side… better that they draw than be too tight and unsmokable. The "pigtail" method seems to be the easiest for me right now.

I will let you know how they smoke and once I am confident I have a reliable technique I will send some out to a few brave souls. I think I have a list of people that have requested some already.

This was the tobacco that dwhitacre and I had pulled and prepped for rolling during the recent NorCal herf but alas we did not get to it then.

This was just a minor update, I am in the middle of harvesting and stringing up a major set of leaves some as large as 25" x 15". I am planning on pulling a few plants this evening and hanging them to dry and see how that goes.

Evan my friend, good to see you. Duuude is right. It's over 100° today and RH is down around 25%. This plant, this plant what is it about this plant

Awesome stuff Richard! The sticks look fantastic! Hope they smoke as good as they look!

Upon showing some of your garden pics to my friend Martin, the guy with the carnivorous blackberry patch, he exclaimed, "Those are some MAN sized leaves!"
