Aloha from Hawaii

What a great resource for lovers of the leaf, as we call us.

I'm really amazed at the many levels of processing a cigar goes thru and hope to duplicate the seed to cigar process someday on my own. Living on the same latitude as Cuba along with having smoked and appreciate homegrown cigar here in Hawaii inspired this idea.
It's a worth dream and one that may take years to accomplish well.

However, since I do not know a local torcedor, or if a grower like Don Alejandro Robaina is unreachable for us common folks , one always relies on sources like TU for complete nourishment of confidence!
When I study the science of growing, curing,fermentation and rolling, I feel confident that it's possible! Only TU shows it thru videos, which are reassuring and really demystify the process of it all!

Thanks Jorge and friends for TU~ Really glad to be here!
