Anybody have any good book recommendations for books that cover growing tobaccos, I was going to check out "Blend Your Own Pipe Tobacco: 52 recipes" but would like to hear from anyone with some experience. Books on tobacco or cigarette history would be interesting as well. Thanks in advance

I always recommend Barbara Hahn's "Making Tobacco Bright: Creating an American Commodity, 1617–1937"

As a resource - the University of North Carolina has a huge online archive of farmer's bulletins and academic papers on growing and curing tobacco from mule times to modern.
Don’t tell Wendell Berry that mule times and modern times aren’t the same thing. He is from burley country and still uses mules.
