So i'm guessing there are no books or compendiums about tobacco that many people know of? It's just crazy there are so many pot/mushroom/psychedelic chemistry like books out there, and so few on tobacco, one of the biggest cash crops in the world.

n. rustica: most pontent, rough tasting, euphoric smoke; n. tobbaccum: regular cig smoke, peculiar strong flavor; n. glauca: sweet taste, euphoric effects but not as strong as the other two. i have tried them all personally, my favourites are rustica and glauca.

I've only been growing tobacco this year and only 2 plants (poor germination rate) but some folk I knew in Italy grow tobacco commercially &, if I remember them right, they said they pick the bottom leaves early on (possibly when they yellow or flower but I'm not sure) & this encourages it to grow more & put out more leaves. Slugs ate most of my bottom leaves but I've picked off, say, the bottom third some but not all of which were yellowy. I probably did this too late as the new leaves it put out don't look likely to make any decent size.
I have seen mention of a book on tobacco cultivation, I think possibly on this forum, but I can't remember the name. I've just done an internet search & found http://www.coffinails.com which looks useful.

Good stuff! So how much would you say to smoke of some uncured, very quickly dried leaf, that was picked before it yellowed and before the plant flowered? That would be about the most potent it could get right?

pack a hash pipe, or smaller and take shallow puffs.

No idea, I haven't tried mine yet as its still drying. If you're not sure how much to try just roll a wee cigarette with it & if it's too potent stop smoking half way through.

I picked mine during flowering and just let the stuff dry out on its own and that's all she wrote. YOu can smoke the flowers as well.

Well good stuff! I have a pic of a bowl of tobacco that i've harvested early, before she started flowering. I'll put it on tomorrow after my upload resets. It didn't turn very brown, or even yellow for that matter. It's still a very smooth smoke, sorta tastes like salvia but with something different. Definitely potent too I took a couple pieces equaling around an inch squared and stuffed it into my pipe and tried it.

A small amount, but enough for quite a few bong/bowl tokes. Thinking about lining the inside of a blunt with some...
