If you do want to grow some tobacco yourself, let me know. I live in Jember (Jawa Timur) so I can send it to you anytime. You can start a very early VO or a very late NO if you want. No need to buy your Kasturi from Lombok if you can grow it yourself.
By the way, which desa in Yogya?

That's quite close to the kota then! Visited Yogya about three times, always had a good time there.
I wouldn't know about the Kasturi from Lombok. All I've seen from Lombok is a variety called Lombok. And the Lombok that comes by here is always flue-cured. The Kasturi around here is sun-cured.
That time when you bought the Kasturi from Jember, do you still remember where or who you bought it from?
Nice picture! Definitely looks like the Kasturi we have around here!
Horrible year for Kasturi and sun-cure-growers in general though.
Also not a brilliant year for Besuki growers....

Ledokombo! That is not far from Mayang, which is where I live. There is indeed quite some Kasturi farming in that area. I do grow plants here in Indonesia. One Kasturi plant at the moment, three Amersfoort, and there are a few new Timor Leste plants coming up. Quite rainy at the moment here in Jember though. How's that in Central Java?
