Where the heck would you get the tobacco? Doesn't it require tropical/subtropical climes to grow and store cigar class tobacco? Not to mention somewhere to cure and ferment it properly. Is there a "Cigar making from scratch for Dummies" book on Amazon?Originally Posted by webmost

LOL! Wow!
I'm impressed! I guess you can make a hobby out of doing just about anything!
Maybe after the kids grow up, I retire and get a little land or something. Right now, I've got enough trouble just finding time to smoke the things.

You are completely backwards there. A beginning roller cannot go wrong with a blend kit from Whole Leaf Tobacco for under thirty bucks.
Unmitigated risk aversion is the new Puritanism; complete with witch hunts funny outfits and humorless preachers thundering doom. The Deity is Safety; Satan is a Lawyer; but the object is the same: to suck the life out of life and tell you how to live it.

The link I provided was to Whole leaf tobacco.

I HIGHLY recommend this place: http://wholeleaftobacco.com/Where the heck would you get the tobacco? Doesn't it require tropical/subtropical climes to grow and store cigar class tobacco?

Don is a great guy, and very helpful.
He also has a forum with lots of info available here: http://fairtradetobacco.com/
Watch out, or you'll end up growing it too. That's just a tad bit of work, FYI.
