The Living Force
I started selling home-grown tobacco, for a week or so. I'm selling it as natural supplement.
I hope they wouldn't change the law quickly here, as far as I see it is going in some EU countries , at least I will try to get some clients base.

I found a supplier, she has good quality tobacco, well fermented, amongst the others I have tried.
I also have a good supplier of accessories for hand rolling cigarettes. So I can make an all-inclusive option for people who needs stuff for hand-rolling cigarettes.
I'm selling different stuff, it is one of the directions, and I actually like it.

I'm selling it on weight right now. I already have few good reviews, one was from a girl, so it is a good sign, girls usually have finer taste than men.

I'm thinking about making some packages 📦 for it. So It will be good if I put some brand on in.
I don't know how to call it right now, maybe you can give some ideas.
Also I want to put some picture on the packages, I found one company that can make packs for me and put some logo on them . I will contact them and ask for available options
Maybe you can also help me with logo/picture also.
It supposed to be without a word "tobacco " on it.

There are several other things I need to know :
1) What is the best packaging option to use, there are cellophane bags with a clasp(zip) or better paper ones. In the first case, I don't know if the tobacco will fog up in them. In the second case, it will dry out.
Maybe I should look for some vacuum packs.

2) I have several varieties of tobacco right now :
Dubec - Very strong
Burley - Strong
Virginia - medium
Virginia gold - light one.
Golden Runo - medium
And few mixes.

So I'm thinking maybe I should try to do some mixtures on my own. But for good mixture as I understand you should mix tobacco leaves before it was chopped.
Maybe you know some proportion of good one mixtures. E.g. American bland they use 60% Virginia, 30% Burley and 10% Oriental.
I like Zware Shag :cool2: , and Halfzware shag is good.
I dont know how they make it, you wouldn't mix its taste with some others.

3) Maybe you know others varieties of tobacco you use or maybe you know some interesting variety I can ask for farmer to plant, + I'm planing to plant some tobacco with my friend next year.
We already find land for it. I can't say I'm planing to plant a lot because of other businesses I have, I wouldn't have time for everything. But some amount to try on my own will be fine.
E.g. Nicotiana Rustica 😊, It is one of my favourite ones, but I don't have it right now.

4) Have any of you fermented tobacco on your own? Maybe you know some receipts. It is very valuable part of making good tobacco.

5) The question also is how to store it, I don't fully understand the best way. So that it doesn't fog up or get mould, but at the same time it stays damp. The woman I take it from has given me some recommendations.

6) Maybe you know some recepies how to make flavoured tobacco.
I know one, with adding pieces of apple to tobacco, and close the jar for some time. I should tey to see what I will get.

Maybe you have some ideas for brand name, and logo/picture which I can put on the packages.
I wil see maybe some fits me. I have no ideas right now. So please feel free to write your ideas, thank you.
 
I don't know about these things, but have some experience working on tobacco farms in NC. Harvesting, hanging, curing and packing for markets is what I've done. I think all of that is automated now. Makes me sad for the loss of those jobs.

Zware Shag: Kentucky dark fired, Latakia and air dried tobacco from !Paraguay! A special fermentation seems to be involved. Possible "saucing" i.e. addition of liquid flavour.

Halfzware: light tobaccos like Burley + Kentucky dark fired.

Both will need some know how which I do not have.
 
I have much more questions here actually.
I mean (мы называем это "пойти глубже в этом вопросе"
Зависит от региона из-за разной диалектики регионов)

I will try to formulate my thoughts and ask.
Meanwhile I'm I'm trying testing from what is already I have received from surrounding.
 
A basic question to which I cannot find an answer. And I am quite well versed in different areas of business. But there is something missing here.
The thing is what I call " our school " taught us more about sacrifice yourself.
And I often try to please every client. It doesn't work that way.
As we call Western civilisation, their base is different, they are good at business, manufacturing cars, for example.
I have been to Japan, and there is still much to learn from them. It's a very incredible culture.
I don't have enough instructions.
I listened to Robert Kiyosaki and many others to try to find what I call my way.
7 years I'm doing fine with business but I'm missing something here.
If I'm out of "wheels" everything is ruining.

I have to prepare my self with both directions : money and health.

Tobacco products are sensitive. Have you looked what they do in Cuba?
 
OK. Say I get some tobacco plant seeds, and by a miracle I get some proper mature plants. Will the leaves be good for smoking? I am asking because as I know myself I'll experiment and I might get intoxicated.

Growing of tobacco is half of a task i can say (30%-40% of job here) Fermentation is very important.

Just growing tobacco proper, wouldn't bring you the good taste. It is like having ingredients for a meal, but you don't know how to cook it well

Fermatation is of key of importance.
Fermentation brings the nice smell, taste, the Nicotine is distributed across the tobacco leaves proportional. The way you chopp tobacco is also very important.
And it depends on your tastes of course.

There is not much danger in handling tobacco. Look at the professionals:

Why is There a Stem in My Cigar? | Cigar Aficionado

While veins may not be pretty to look at, they can be full of flavor. The stems, too. At the center of each tobacco leaf is a thick, linear structure known as a midrib, i.e. a stem, a natural part of long-filler tobacco. | Cigar Aficionado

I have been trying home-grown tobacco for several years. For 15 years already.
Simple answer the way I see it - will be "No"
Than "yes"

Of course it is as usual - "simple, when you know how"


My mother grew tobacco for me a few years ago in a row, to save money.
Some of it was good for me to some extent, but in general it can be intoxicating if you're not a smoker like me.
I smoke 2 cigarettes, and sometimes 4 in a row right now, of strong tobacco.


For example Green tobacco leaves are " not working"
I mean you wouldn't enjoy that.
Depends on the environment of course.


And as usual everyone is specific in nature.


I observed the way my ex-wife was smoking tobacco and I was trying to find clues how to get her adapted to smoking as she is a girl.
(Maybe I will share later on my observations as far as I see clients giving me feedback and I'm trying observing their opinions. )
