So I want to try growing my first crop and was wondering if there is a best single plant variety to grow that'll make a decent cigar. I'm in Southeastern WI.
What's the best tobacco to grow for a single variety cigar?

For a Caribbean-style cigar, I find that Corojo 99 makes a great puro—and is even better with some blending. The Corojo 99 can serve easily as wrapper and binder and filler, and is one of the most productive cigar varieties I have grown. Other members certainly have other favorites.
Northwood Seeds produces Corojo 99 seed, though it may not be listed. You can PM @skychaser, the owner, to see if he has any available, or just inquire on the Northwood Seeds website.

Welcome to FTT.
Take a look at Nostrano del Brenta, it has been used as filler, binder and wrapper for centuries around here.

Thanks guys! I've always been a cigar guy on the course and thought it would be cool to try rolling my own. A few kits later and I feel it would not be a wasted effort to grow a few plants this summer to have a 100% "my own" cigar. Anyone have any knowledge of "Havana 142"? Apparently it has WI origins and I'd love to use it if it's possible.
