- This video takes you through the process of tobacco seeding, germination, growth and harvesting. Making great cigars starts with planting great seeds. You will see how the seeds are planted and germinated and how the seedlings are prepared to be planted in the field. The process of harvesting (priming) the leaves is also discussed.
This video is a remastered version of an earlier upload. Much higher quality, some different media and higher resolution stills
I like the Cuban music at the beginning :) reminded me of my grandma bringing fresh cuban cigars from her trips to cuba
Great video Doc! I'm blessed to have such a educator of the leaf as a cigar mentor and friend. Team Crush & Roll!

This is the best advice to give because I'm reading about caterpillars munching the leaves before even preparing the ground. Introduce nest boxes for Blue Tits and Great Tits or any other finch family birds basically you have 4m 4 inches square pole place the pole into the ground during winter time feed the finches next to nest boxes and hoping in Spring they will nest in those boxes the birds I mentioned feed on caterpillars so its food for the birds young and the problem solved. For an acre about 12 pillars when it comes to nature there is a solution.
The hardest part for me has been keeping the seedlings alive from germination till planting outdoors. Since I'm from the northern US tobacco needs to be planted indoors about 1-2 months before planting outdoors as full grown seedling. Over watering the flat one time can cause the loss of a entire flat to dampening off and under watering can cause the loss of an entire flat due to the soil being to dry thus killing the tiny roots. Best of luck to all my fellow smokers and growers.
Wow Doc I love your channel. I am just a beginner smoker so I don't understand everything on your videos but I am getting a lot of information from them. Please keep up the good work!
Thanks Brandon. Much appreciated. See you soon!
in my country(india) seeds are planted in earth only and plantion by not machines with by man and women............but ur video is simply awesome
Excellent video. Thank you.
awesome video. looks so easy!!!!!
i might be 14 years late but was wondering if you've ever encountered this problem. my plants just started growing a week ago they grew pretty fast but slowed down in the last couple days. they now have yellowish tips on the leafs and even some are dead completely and was wondering if you might know the problem if your still around on here or if anyone else knew.
I have to write an essay about tobacco's impact on our environment and yea i have not learned anything new but at least ive had a good time watching this thanks
Virginia is the most common in the US. If you're growing rusitc or Aztec Sweet, try drying and smoking the dried blossoms they are much better tasting and have less nicotine in them. You can also try Havana depending on where you live.
Thanks great video. I grew a couple test plants last yr and 4 varieties this yr to see which would do the best in my regional conditions and has best disease resistance here. Ony about 100 plants the weather conditions have been terrible for the air curing very rainy and in mid August it hasnt gotton over 75 degrees which is unseasonably cool so many of them have been developing frogs eye any tips on preventing that in cooler than normal conditions or to help in the drying?
very interesting video and great quality as well! thx doc!
Try a drain and water system from the bottom of your soil, poke holes in each square and put the top of the square box underneath with water, that way, the water will come from the bottom and the roots will become much stronger
Need more specifics. I don't know of anything about farming practices that would be harmful to farmers, but if I knew more specifics I could look into it.
Great stuff Doc love it my friend!

Excellent ! Thanks
Awesome, good tips.
wow nice video line ;) thanks Doc
Nice info! :D Thank you Doc.
just plant your cigarettes in an ashtray and voila!
I'm from Indonesia I have a video of growing tobacco to harvesting in the fields, still in the traditional way
Hey can u guys help me a bit ? I want to buy some organic cigar seed but i cant find @ny where ....🥺🥺 plese tell how i can get cigar seeds
Doc can you tell whats that thing that farmer puts on the seeds after he has plant them it's that sawdust???
it is so nice
but here u dont show that how to plantation of small plants into fields and also heating of tobocco leavs in barren.... and then making them as bundles.
What is a commonly grown commercial tobacco strain? I have Rustica and it's too strong for anyone I know.
Strongest plant do not produce the best smoking tobacco, today you see a lot of plantations with huge tobacco plants, that doesn't translate in most cases to better tobacco. That works for snuff and mass producimg but not for quality cigars.
The bigger the plant for a same variety the smaller the flavor, bigger the veins in the leaves, lower the quality. It get to be old timers way to be good for cigars.
You see so many prestigious cuban rollers that get into the cigar business overseas and not a single one can match the aroma of the cheapest cuban habano despite growing in similar weather and a lot has to to with the growing part, the soil.
Non cuban cigars are getting better but grower's families are also needed not just rollers, and quick nefore the tradition is lost which is the way Cuban tobacco is going with the mass production
In this video, the farmer used sterilized rice shells to cover the seeds and protect them from birds.

اقول على شحم بس
Is this tabaco just for flavor or to inhale or both?
Cigars are for taste, and cigarettes are for breathing in and taking a nicotine effect.
Nope. I'm growing it right now and caterpillars LOVE the leaf. I'm also finding a fair amount dead bugs stuck to the sappy leaves (I had no idea the green leaves were so sticky and sappy!), so you're kind of misinformed here. I'm not going to use pesticides, but it's definitely an issue.
Drug name used ,?
Can this tobacco seeds be found ?
Please answer me
You can buy the seeds yourself. "Cigar Seed" sustainableseed.com
I like how this takes place in a slave days
I didnt have any money to purchased some cigar... What a sad life
Make sure you do NOT use insecticides on the plants if you intend to smoke them.
Not the seeds :D.
Deborah, I can't put links in a comment, but you will find my email address on the StogieFresh dot info website in the About Us section. I look forward to hearing from you.
Is it possible to grow heavy metal free tobacco? I understand tobacco extracts it from the soil
0:18 ahem... google
Smoking is bad mmmmmmmkay?
Cigarette tobacco is bad because of all the chemicals, natural tobacco isn't all that bad
Fucking awful
smoking kills
No smoking
