Keep on Rollin: Grow Your Own Rolling Tobacco

Being a smoker in these days is often inconvenient.  It is expensive and some complain to the point that smoking a cigarette has become akin to committing a horrendous crime.  While there is not a lot that can be done about the feelings of others, something can be done about the price of smoking.  This can be done by learning to grow tobacco for personal consumption.

For growing rolling tobacco there is surprisingly little that needs to be done in preparation for the task.  Those who wish to grow tobacco only need tobacco and land to grow tobacco (or twelve litre pots if land is not available).  Regular water and sunshine are also needed to grow rolling tobacco.  Soil used for growing tobacco should be rich in organic material.

Between the end of spring and the beginning of summer is the best time to plant tobacco.  After two weeks the plants can be fertilised.  It is important not to fertilise tobacco with the same kind that would be used to fertilise tomatoes.  This will promote the growth of beautiful flowers.  The beautiful flowers, while pleasing on the eye, are not ideal for growing rolling tobacco.  This is because the flowers use up more nutrients than the tobacco leaf and the tobacco leaf is what is desired to grow.  Leave flower growing to the florist!  If the soil in which you grow tobacco is very rich in organic matter then fertilising may not even be needed.

After approximately ninety days the tobacco may be ready to be harvested.  This will be evidenced by flower buds beginning to form and the bottom leaf on the tobacco plant turning yellow.  Begin harvesting by pulling each leaf as it matures.  If the tobacco leaves turn yellow prior to flower buds beginning to form they should be harvested immediately.

Now that a sufficient amount of tobacco has been harvested it is time to cure!  Curing is a very easy process.  Simply take the harvested tobacco leaves and slit them at the bottom end of the leaf.  Place the leaves on a stick or rod of some type (the only requirement here is that the leaves will not fall off of the support and the support itself will not break).  Place the tobacco in a warm, semi-humid area.  In the Southern United States tobacco barns are used but if a tobacco barn or barn is not readily available any storage area out of the way that is warm with a bit of humidity will suffice.   The completion of curing tobacco comes when the leaves have made a colour change from green, to yellow, to brown.  Keep an eye to check that the tobacco leaves do not change colour too quickly.  If this happens it means that the storage area is a little too warm.  To solve this problem, simply move the tobacco to a cooler area.  The trick to remember with curing is that the longer a tobacco leaf is cured, the better the flavor will be.

Once curing is complete, those three magical words come about:  ready to roll!    Rolling tobacco is not ready to roll until it has been cut.  The tobacco leaf will have a main vein down the center of the leaf and additional ones that permeate laterally.  These veins need to be removed from the tobacco. After enough veins have been removed to constitute enough tobacco to hold in a couple of hands the cured tobacco is almost ready to be rolling tobacco.  The final touch prior to rolling tobacco is to press it in a way that will even out the moisture in the tobacco (even though it has been dried and cured there will still be some moisture).  The tobacco can be pressed in any manner where the plant is placed between to heavier objects and pressed with any type of weight or pressure applying mechanism.

Now that the tobacco has been grown, cured, cut, and pressed it can officially be called rolling tobacco.  Rolling tobacco can be rolled in any manner but the most popular methods are either by hand with rolling papers or with rolling machines, which can be purchased at a variety of shops.

Smoking a cigarette with home grown tobacco can be very rewarding (even with someone nearby griping and complaining).  The entire process, from beginning to end is both simple and enjoyable.  The smoker can take delight in knowing that the tobacco they smoke is theirs, from beginning tobacco leaf to ready rolling tobacco.

To harvest tobacco, the Muskogee would first “top” the tobacco plants by removing the top where the flowers would bloom out leaving the plants with extra energy to make the bottom leaves longer (long bottom). After about one moon cycle (28 days) we would harvest the rest of the plant by cutting the stalks with a bone knife and take the harvested stalks (with leaves still attached) to an unlit smoke house. The tobacco would be hung in the smoke house by spikes or hooks made of bone or wood.

The smoke house is likened to what many people use to smoke or cure meat, fish, vegetables or fruit.

We would let the tobacco wilt slightly in the smoke house for another moon cycle (28 days) before we would cure and dry the leaves. The leaves stay green though, our Native plant varieties are different from the “eastern” varieties.

To cure the leaves, we would use an indirect “wet” wood smoke (cypress works the best) and to add flavor and color we would add wild cherry or wild plum wood to the smoke – curing could take from 6 hours to 2 days depending on the desired flavor and moisture content of the tobacco.

To dry the leaves, we would use and indirect “dry” wood smoke from oak or hedge and we would start the drying process for 6 hours to 2 days – after 2 days we would let let the smoke (fire) die and allow the tobacco to dry naturally.
