Anyone know where I can score some Pennsylvania broadleaf seeds? I'm going to be growing more tobacco this year and that would be an awesome leaf to raise as most of the cigars that come out of it are dark, rich, and spicy. Thanks!

    just remember that a big part of what makes that leaf what we know it is the curing process. you may not get the same results.

    but it sure is fun to try. i hope you find the seeds you need

    Maybe I can go up to Amish country about an hour away and steal some seeds from them. I've always who and where in PA its growing because I know the Amish near my hometown grow some tobacco. no idea where else its grown.

    Thanks! Yeah I know all about it. :) I grew 80 plants to full size last year and rolled over 200 cigars from them. Some are duds, and others have a really good taste. I use a kiln to do the fermenting/curing process once they are color cured by hanging.

    Thanks guys, http://www.coffinails.com/usa/order.html has them! "Seedman" had Penn. Red and Connecticut Broadleaf, but not Penn. Broadlead. I grew Pennsylvania Red last year and wasn't a big fan of it. I like Penn. Broadleaf and Dixie Shade. Nice dark maduro blends once fermented. The two combined should make some excellent cigars next year.

    http://fairtradetobacco.com/forum.php -- they have a seed bank and they even give seeds away free.
