I grew some last year, as a long time smoker of weed and 'bacy I thought if I don't quit this time I'll grow my own, lucky for me I quit, but I tried my DIY, and many of my friends didn't believe what I was growing was tobacco, a very tall plant like a cross between a cabbage and corn, let it run its course then dry it on bamboo stakes at the back of my garage, warm and dim, no bright lights for 2-3 weeks, then to an old food processor, then to the bag, like cannabis cure really fun too, amazing the amount of bugs that get caught up in the sap on the leaves, enough to give you lung cancer .....lol glad I quit
