If the soil will grow tomatoes it will grow tobacco. Some of the tobacco we raise is for chewing. It is known as "Dark" tobacco and there are several varities. All of our chewing tobacco is cured by fire. It is housed in barns and fired with slabs of hardwood (oak or hickory) for about a month. That drys it out properly and puts a dark color and smoke shine on it. Having said all that, we raise it because it is a legal crop and an excellent return per acre and certainly many days of hard, honest work. Tobacco has paid for many farms for many years in my area. Personally, I don't chew, dip or smoke. It is a health hazard for sure. But, tobacco farmers are not on guilt trips because it is legal and no different in our minds than corn farmers selling corn to distillieries.
