Dark Fired Kentucky Discussion.

I really could use some tobacco seed

You can buy seed anywhere from amazon to any number of other websites. Also, you can contact your local Farmers Cooperative and get seed for mere pennies. Personally, I look for heirloom varieties to grow, because all of the other commercial crops are already easy to get. If I'm going to grow it, I want to grow something different. Although, I did grow a row of commercial Virginia Gold, just to have something to compare to what's available. It's easy, easy, easy, and I'm surprised more people aren't growing their own tobacco.

Join the Fair Trade Tobacco Forum. Probably the best site around for growing tobacco plus they give away seeds like there's no tomorrow. The FTT seed bank is second to none for the number of varieties.

Actually, it's all the same plant, tomato leaves left over from making Campbell's soup, but it's sprayed with different flavorings. The big "tobacco" companies get together once a year to come up with confusing names, fix prices and decide how much free stuff they can give away before people get really offended. None of this, of course, applies to premium cigars, which are rolled out of recycled grocery bags and cardboard made from dehydrated sewage sludge by the developmentally disabled in a sheltered workshop on the outskirts of Newark, NJ. Tobacco hasn't been grown in the western hemisphere in over 100 years.

This is why I think the fda should separate premium pipe tobacco from cigars

Hmmm. Granger, that ancient OTC flavored with molasses has always been labeled Kentucky burley rough cut. I guess it's burley that hasn't been smoked dark-fired. I much like Russ O.'s Fire Storm, balanced and full-flavored.

Dark Fired tobacco is a variety of tobacco just like Dark Air, Burley, Flue Cured etc.

Right now I'm smoking a big bowl of 30% C&D chopped cigar leaf, 30% DFK, and 40% Izmir. Dry, rich, and spicy.
