You could make your own tomacco. And still have some left over tobacco as well. Personally, I'm not looking to roll my own cigars. I enjoy gardening, and the tobacco plant is a nice conversation piece in the garden. Last year, I did a few things wrong, and ended up with really small plants (they only got a little bigger than the plants in my avatar). I'm planning on getting them MUCH bigger this year.

Well, like I said, I ordered from SeedMan last year, but have also noticed the Tobacco Seed Company, which looks to have some interesting varieties as well. After I made the post yesterday, I noticed New Hope Seed Company as well. I think all of them should be reputable, but then again, I can only speak from experience regarding SeedMan.

I would be interested in trying this out. Is it worth a split, or can you vacuum pack and store the seeds for next season?
I don't know for sure. The seeds I ordered last year from SeedMan have an expiration date on them, similar to when you buy vegetable seeds at Lowe's or whatever. I don't know if that is a gimmick to get you to buy new seeds each year, or if they actually lose their ability to germinate after a certain period of time outside of soil.

I thought about a split just because one of the sites sells seeds in quantities of 200 (at the smallest), and I can't use that many. I thought if several of us went in on them, it might be neat to compare plants and learn from each other as the year goes on. But you're right, it may not be worth it.
