>>18150651you can order whole leaf tobacco online, it's not taxed like regular commercial tobacco because the tobacco leaf is still on the stalk. regardless, it is all cured and ready to smoke, you just need to cut it. you don't need good soil to grow tobacco in, it's basically a weed and grows everywhere. if you do want a guide, it is most similar to growing tomatoes, so you'll likely be able to get a wealth of information regarding growing techniques.
you can pick up a five gallon bucket, and fill it up with dirt. start a seedling indoors, and transplant it outside. that's what i've been doing. other than that, it basically grows itself. it gets a boost every time you reintroduce nutrients too. curing is probably the most difficult thing because not everyone has heat and pressure, but i just used my heated sleeping mat and got a decent cure.
