Personal for 10 - 12 people (I don't smoke myself).

Maybe a private Cigar Club.. where we (members) grow and roll their own cigars.

Wouldn't that be great.
I dont know how to grow it or roll them but I know some of the blends.

I would guess that 1/16 acre would be plenty. That's about 25'x25', so I'd guess ~100 plants. Each plant is probably enough to make 10+ cigars. That's a lot of cigars!

Me either, but lots of info on the internet. I'm sure the first ones would be ugly and probably not very good, but they'd get better.

As I've tried to explain to Yle before, growing tobacco is not a problem.

The "law" says though for personal use, you can only plant right under one acre of tobacco.

You can set about 400-500 burley plants per acre and wind up with about 10 pounds of cured tobacco. A pound of cured tobacco makes about 900 cigarettes so I would guess 300 cigars.

Rolling cigars isn't really to difficult of a process, but it may take lots of practice. You'd just need the right ring mold for wrapping. Read into this, output of some cash for some equipment and some funny looking cigars for a period of time.

The problem is and will be :
hanging the tobacco to dry, keeping it a stable temperature, and storing it from anywhere from 6 months to as long as 5 years so that it cures. The pro cigars tobacco growers have said they let their tobacco age for years, introduce flavors and aromas into the aging process. They regulate the temperature and rotate the tobacco.

I had no idea that it was hung this long. Wow....
