I reciently fabricated a kiln to make my own charcoal. I baked a 55 gal. drum of apple wood, which turned out almost half a barrel of charcoal. This lump charcoal lights easier, burns hotter, and more even than store bought. The process is relatively easy. here are a few pics.
I sent Craig some tobacco seeds so he could try his hand at growing his own tobacco. In return he sent me 6 nice smokes, (some of which are from a well known island). Thanks again Craig. I wish you luck Brother!!!
Here is some info for those who want to grow their own tobacco.
1. Start your seeds indoors or in a green house 6-8 weeks before the last frost in your region. I use float trays, which are compartmentalized styrofoam trays that float in a bed of water. You can also use the seed starter trays...
Well they finally got my internet back on line. I live way out in the country and there is only 1 provider with a local phone number. So they've got me by the balls. I've been going crazy not being able to communicate with people who enjoy a good smoke. Did anyone miss me???? :whistling: LOL!!!
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 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...
Here are some updated pics. This first one is of a partial section of 2 rows. (approx 1/3) Each row has 45 plants.
This plant is around 14 inches tall.
I'll update with more pics in a couple weeks.
To those who recieved seeds has anyone started yet? let's see some pics. I'll post pics of mine later this week they're mostly germinated and looking good.
