Auld Lang Syne

In honor of the coming New Year, let us reflect on years past. Success, failures, etc…

Share what you want to accomplish in 2026 with your tobacco journey. Maybe a new variety, improve your curing methods, different blends and recipes. You can describe how your tastes have changed through the years and your past or current favorite tobacco varieties in your garden.

For me, I'm planning my first growing season. Pipe smoking is my priority, and I want to establish the diversity of ingredients I want to experiment with.

In brief: 3 Brightleaf, 10 Orientals, 2 Dark Air Cure, & 2 Burley. 255 plants in all. I hope everything goes well enough to get 1 - 5 kg

Happy New Year!

Haven't smoked dutch masters since I discovered WLT, next on my list is learning to make nasal snuff (used it a lot when I was stationed in Germany during the 70's) going through Bobs book on snus, snuff and chew now (thanks Bob)- happy new year to all.

My main plan is to finish building my kiln. Its mostly built now. I just need to do the door, wrap it, then install the electrical stuff.

I haven't yet decided on what to grow for next year but I have a list of prospects.

Just wanted to add that I wish I could post some pics of my kiln build but my phone and computer are having relationship issues and haven't been on speaking terms for awhile. I guess that's another one of my new year's things: getting some relationship therapy for my phone and computer.
