Anders A Grow Log 2025

Please shou us some pictures (and measures) when you make next batch of pipe tobacco. I would also like to try.

I mix in alcohol, stir it well, remove any midribs, then I vacuum pack it. What I did today was 300 g of lamina and 20 cl of rum and 20 cl of Tennessee Fire. I divided it into three vacuum bags. Then I put it under some towels on top of our water heater where it is just over 40 degrees Celsius. Then it is left there for a few months, or until my "old" tobacco runs out The first three pictures are the tobacco from the last time I made pipe tobacco. Partly what I have left in my humidor, and then a tobacco plug that I pressed for 3-4 months in a paste press.

I also usually bring a tablespoon of honey that I dissolve in the alcohol, but I forgot about it today

I'm no expert on this fermentation thing, not really knowledgeable at all, and smoking a pipe isn't a big deal to me, I mostly use snus, but I'm happy with this pipe tobacco, I don't require anything else

Now I feel calm and peace of mind, no more worries about mold

Today I moved all the tobacco (129 plants in total) into my workshop where I can control ventilation, humidity and temperature with great accuracy.
I'll let it cure slowly for a few weeks now, maybe a month before I finally dry it and then grind it into flour.

Now, that's a man cave!

27 plants where the leaves are completely finished on the plant, both color cured and completely dried
including the midrib, (except for a few top leaves that are allowed to fully cure).
I have now picked the dry leaves off and let them dry for a few more weeks before grinding them into flour.
