How did the red Virginia experiment go? Because I enjoy it as well. This is going to be an interesting experiment. I expect it to be similar to brewing and vinting. You're bound to lose a batch now and then.
I am hoping to try a number of curing processes so I can try to have different styles of tobacco to blend. For those who have done it before, how difficult is it to flue and fire cure?
I am very glad I searched for this topic. I ordered seed the other day, and am waiting to germinate. I also started researching the curing process as soon as I decided to grow my own tobacco.
Wow! What an impressive score. There are some great names in that bunch. My advice to you concerning the refurbishing of these pipes is; have a professional do it unless you are very handy and have a lot of practice.
