    Is it Me, or Is it the Tobacco?

    I'd be curious how much of this change in flavor has as much to do with soil and farming practices and varieties of tobacco as it does curing techniques. Imagine the days when a farm wasn't just a large swatch of tobacco, but had a vegetable patch and cows and chickens. Adding these composts and...

    Hemp wick
