[@RioAvram]

Yes, I fermented the leaves in the oven for 3-4 weeks

[@JacobRestituto]

@@RioAvram woah, that's wild. how'd you do that?? did you leave the oven on or just the natural heat from the leaves?? Did you humidify?

[@RioAvram]

@@JacobRestituto I moistened the leaves, folded them tightly, in a glass container with a lid, set the temperature in the oven to 40 degrees Celsius, I did not close the oven door, but left it open by the thickness of a finger, and turned it on for 2 hours, so I repeat 2-3 times a day for for 2-3 weeks, I continue until I like the color, smell and strength of the tobacco

[@RioAvram]

I failed in fermenting well the first time, but after a few attempts, everything worked out. There was also a curious case, I had several kilograms of tobacco leaves left, which I collected in late autumn, they were small in size, and it was already cold and I I could not dry it naturally so I put it in a box and left it! What was my surprise when I went to this box after a month and a half and there were leaves a perfect uniform brown color and a wonderful smell. I put it to dry but I haven't tasted it yet. I think in the new season I will try this method of fermentation because I plan to plant more bushes than this year

[@William_Asston]

Since you don't inhale cigar smoke, your exposure to the carcinogens are much lower. Nicotine, however, can diffuse through the skin in your mouth. I wonder if you roll a full cigar-sized blunt if you can get the same effect with cannabis without having to inhale any tobacco smoke. Any smoke inhalation is bad, but God lost a bet with the devil when giving us tobacco. The cancer causing compounds are called "TSNAs" or *tobacco-specific* nitrosamines.

What a great video. Definitely a new sub here! Im thinking about growing my own tobacco for the first time but feel like its going to be really hard as im in the North east of England (cold and not often sunny). I also love tinkering in my garage building and restoring axes but well and truly dont have a green thumb. Any tips? Thanks in advance

[@RioAvram]

I am glad to see you on the channel, thank you for subscribing! You can make a completely simple greenhouse, using oilcloth for greenhouses, this is the best option, tobacco loves moisture and heat. Or if you do not have the opportunity to make a greenhouse, grow tobacco by the seedling method, transplanting small pots into larger ones, and plant them in open ground only in June. In addition, make a warm bed, which will warm the roots well and serve as good drainage, so that cold water does not stagnate! These are probably basic tips I would follow if I were in your weather conditions.It is important to plant at least 2-3 different varieties so that you can experiment with the tobacco mix in cigars.I smoke 1 cigar a week, sometimes two! Sometimes I treat my friends, for such needs, I need 20 bushes for the whole year. I read that the longer tobacco is stored after fermentation, the sweeter and more interesting its taste is, so it makes sense to plant several spare bushes to store tobacco for a year or two. And I will say, after you try homemade tobacco, you will never want to smoke ordinary purchased cigarettes, they are disgusting

Great Video. I will be growing tobaccoo next year. So, I have a couple of questions. First, what kind of tobacco did you use for the wrapper leaf and the filler? Also, what's the yellow stuff in the jar? Thanks!

[@RioAvram]

Thank you very much! I grew only two varieties, Havana and Virginia, for wrapping I used a leaf of Havana, but I fermented it very weakly, so it has a lighter color in contrast to the filling leaves! In the future, I mixed these two varieties, but experimented with leaves from different levels of the bush and different degrees of fermentation!I plan to plant at least 5 varieties in the new season. In a jar, honey for gluing tobacco leaves

How did it taste?

[@RioAvram]

The beginning of the cigar is hot like pepper, the middle tastes like walnuts, the end is spicy and very rich, it's hard to tell! In general, each cigar is different, I have not yet understood the hierarchy of the tobacco bush and mixed all the leaves together. In the new season, I will approach this more responsibly

[@copperspartan1643]

@ That’s quite an ambitious undertaking. Just the blending is an art form in itself, never mind growing and processing it. Looks like you’re off to a good start, though. I’ve considered growing pipe tobacco myself, but I’m pretty fussy about what I smoke, so I’d be concerned about not enjoying the fruits of my labor. Anyway, good luck.

In order to get good tobacco leaves, you need to spend a lot of time and effort! Starting from the germination of the seed to the collection of the leaves, after which the equally important stage of drying and fermentation of the leaves begins. There are many nuances, but in general it is a very exciting and interesting process. I also do not smoke , never smoked cigarettes

I wet the leaves with a sprayer, put them tightly in a glass container with a lid, and at a temperature of 40 degrees I keep them for a week, sometimes two, until I like the smell and taste of tobacco. When I planted tobacco this year, I did not have a particular choice, the seeds were given to me by a friend, so I can only guess what kind it is.

[@wcswood]

@@RioAvram You can ferment them in a pylon. A pile of leaves. I do it in a cold frame with the leaves wrapped in black plastic to get the pile really hot. You gotta turn the pile a couple times a day but you can get everything from black to golden brown. As the leaves turn you can pull them out and sun dry them to lock in that color/flavor.
