Absolutely! I only smoke my own whole leaf blends from wholeleaftobacco.com. I had a good grow last year too, but that's in the kiln right now aging.
What are you planning to buy?
You don't need to case or process latakia, orientals, perique and kentucky. I highly suggest to stove virginia whole leaf tobaccos, but they can be smoked straight too. The stoving really brings out the sweetness and a fuller flavour. You only need to moisten them prior to stoving. You can also stove kentucky and burleys to mellow them out a bit, especially with some sugar casing, but it's not needed.
As another member said, adding some pressure (making a plug or cake) can enhance the flavours and smooth things out too.
Casings aren't needed, if the tobacco is treated right. Especially stoving virginias. Stoving other tobaccos like Kentucky, latakia perique and orientals can be nice too, but my preference is to press those blends containing those leaves into a plug first before I stove them.
Also casings can be really simple too, like some spiced rum or tonka beans soaked in bourbon. Or just water and maple syrup or molasses. Sugar helps smooth things out a bit but isn't needed
