.25g Each Of Burley, Virginia Gold, & Pryor Tobacco Seeds Grown In East Arizona

Description: .25g Each Of Golden Burley, Virginia Gold, & Hickroy Pryor Tobacco Seeds Grown In East Arizona- Still trying to come up with the perfect cigarette tobacco. Golden Burley when cured is a little harsh for me, Virginia Gold is a little too mild, a blend of the two is pretty good but I add some Pryor because I've got it and get by, it's hard to describe their individual tastes but the three are working for me. My favorite so far is Turkish Bursa, it's the closest thing I've grown to a Camel, but the plants are still small and I don't have any seeds to offer just yet, hopefully I'll have some soon. I'm still experimenting, I find that drying it out completely after curing seems to make it a bit stronger and gets rid of that 'nutty' taste. It's pretty close to the taste of Bugler or Camels, good enough for me. I won't try to give out planting advice, I'm not a very good gardener and there isn't much of a growing season up here in the mountains of East Arizona. My entire garden has to be in pots so I can move them, and this growing season hasn't been so great at all. Cold until June, then dreadfully hot, the rains are late, so my crops are just starting to take off now, with the first hard freeze less than a month away. Despite all that, I still have my own tobacco. I start these seeds inside in a room that doesn't fall below 65 degrees. I use pudding cups with potting soil and just sprinkle a few seeds on top, watering with a spray bottle, since the seeds and sprouted plants are so tiny, any kind of pouring of water would probably damage them. Common LED house bulbs offer the sprouts enough light to grow, I leave the lights on them all the time. When the plants are about an inch high I transplant them into 2-gallon pots and outside they go, they like full Sun but will wilt quickly when the soil dries out. When I started to research the curing process it became dreadfully complicated. Old-timers from back East said just to hang it up in a barn(or something), but with an average humidity well below 30% here, the leaves just dry green into useless crispy critters. I reached the conclusion that 70 degrees, 70% humidity will do, and my full-bath maintains just about that, so the harvested leaves hang from the ceiling in there. My wife doesn't think much of that, so I'm working on increasing the humidity in my growing room so I can cure the leaves in there too. They're ready for me when they reach a nice brown color, I read 4-6 weeks but I don't think it's that long. My last step is to fold the leaves up a bit and shred them with a pair of scissors, being very careful not to cut off the tip of my thumb. I then store it in a coffee can, shaking it up from time to time and airing it out until it gets right for rolling. That's my procedure, it's probably not correct but it's working for me, if there were too much work involved this just wouldn't be any fun. I finally purchased a precision scale, everything I've read says that a gram of these seeds is about 10,000, and .1g sure doesn't look like 1000 to me, so I'm offering a quarter gram of each without promising a count. A person could lose his mind trying to count these things. This much will go a long way, just be really careful when sprinkling seeds onto the soil, I stop when I see a few fall and move on to the next one. It's not really good to have too many plants coming up in one pot. These seeds were harvested this year(January to August 2022). They do grow, I sprout these regularly to make sure they're still viable. Shipping will be via USPS first class envelope, with tracking of course. I now offer international shipping, buyer is responsible to ensure that the country of destination is allowed by customs. Thanks for looking!
