Ben, Each year your plants should get better and better as they get acclimated to your growing environment. Just make sure you save seeds from plants that meet your requirements, such as tall, no early blooming etc.

You're getting me really anxious to grow next spring. Vuelta Abajo, PA Red, Criollo 98 is in my seed stock..those plants look awesome...And our winter just officially started .

Looking very good. I was considering comstock spanish for later in 2015, but it seemed to be a very small plant. Your pics have confimed that... but i've heard it's really good cigar filler.

Jolly, Its not really that small comparing to my other varieties. I grow it mainly for a wrapper, very nice oily wrapper, so far the best I wrapper grew.

May I suggest you Huehuetenango. It produced the biggest cigar leaves this year. Leaves were quite thick though.

Hmmm.....this interests me quite a bit. I Love the Prelep in Cigars, it blends so well with Cigar tobacco. Where is the seed available?

Prilep or Huehuetenango seeds ? Prilep is an Oriental from Macedonia but Huehuetenango is a cigar filler from Guatemala. I do have Huehuetenango seeds.

Tobacco really looking good. Busy topping and closing flower buds for seeds. Much better crop than last year, even Vuelta Abajo are taller and bigger leaves than last year. I`m smiling.
Cant wait for this crop, down to smoking the last scraps I have, some of them not to nice, but at least I smoke!!!

 

[bonehead]

it's nice to see something besides ice and snow. that sucks that your down to scraps left. i concider it an emergency when i have to go out to my shed or garage and unstring some leaves and stalks to bring them inside.

I have so much leaf from 4 years of grow It is hard to manage the storage. I have it everywhere and in every out building. I am only growing a year supply of cig bacco this year.
