I reciently asked Rod for permission to change my nickname. This was the first cigar forum I joined and having zero past experience with forums I wasn't able to come up with a catchy nickname, so I just used my first name and initial. My screen name is now MrMaduro. Thanks, Brian H.

I just noticed that my new avatar makes me look like I have angel wings. Just call me MrMaduro "The Arc Angel of the Tobacco Patch." LOL!!!!!

The first thing I do when shopping for goods is look for the made in U.S.A. label. If this is not present then I think hard to determine if This is something I really need or something I just want. I've done without a lot of stuff to support my fellow countrymen. By the way I'm a Union Operating...

I'm all done with the harvest. So here are a few more pics. Ready to start. Spearing a stalk. Off to the barn. Each stick weighs close to 80 lbs. A Small Stalk Black Mammoth leaf. On the lighter side, my son feeding apples to a couple of the cows.

Well after many delays I was able to get the Connecticut Shade harvested today. Here are a few pics. This is of me holding a stick with 5 stalks. This is a stick hanging in the barn. I also tried a couple of different ways, this is a bundle of leaves hanging. Here I strung some leaves...

Do you smoke the whole thing at once, or seperate it and smoke it with two friends? Where would I be able to pick up one of these? I've not seen these any where!

As of right now I don't have any molds. That is something I need to find, or I might have to make some.

I had planned on priming the crop this weekend, but due to several other must do chores it will have to wait until next weekend. However I was able to harvest the seeds for "OUR" crops next year. The first pic is all the seed pods from 4 plants of 1 variety. The next one is of the seeds hanging...

Jeff, Sorry it took me so long to get back with you. I just got called back to work, we're working 6/12 hour days and I'm driving 2 hours each way. Now to answer your questions. 1. I cure them in a barn. You can use any type of storage building, it needs to allow some air movement. This will...

A few more pics Me in heaven!!!! This is the Havana #608 notice the blooms to me left, I let 4 plants go to seed. A close up of one of the blooms On the lighter side my son took a pic as I was priming my irrigation pump. If you look closely you can see some of the cattle off in the...

From the time I sowed the seeds it took about 15 or 16 weeks to get to where that pic was taken. It takes 6-8 weeks indoors or a greenhouse before they are big enough to transplant outside. You try to time this transplanting to take place right after the last frost. Then it takes 8-10 weeks to...

I did a trade with Craig (lucasbuck). A pipe rack and humidor for some cigars. I was telling him that I have been laid off from work for 3 1/2 months. This is what kind of brother we have here on C Pass. He sent a really generous selection of quality smokes for the trade. If that wasn't enough...

Diesel, Yuo can start harvesting the leaves any time you want now. I usually wait until they bloom, then break off the blooms and let them go another couple of weeks. The leaves should really grow in this period. But you can start your harvest as you have time. Be sure you get them all done...

Greg, Be careful about smoking the tobacco without fermenting it. I'm not sure about burley (cigarette) tobacco, but smoking cigar tobacco without fermenting can be LETHAL! It contains an extremely high level of both nicotine and amonia. The fermentation process releases the excess nicotine and...

Happy Birthday Greg!!!!!

They're getting bigger Greg. Keep up the good work. That first spider looks mean!!! I took a pic of a spider last month in the garage. I'll post it tomorrow if I can find it. I topped most of my crop today. A few are still not ready. I'll post some pics of the crop tomorrow as well.
