Hardcover (Original Cloth). Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. First Edition. This comprehensive guide to Tobacco Culture will be welcomed by all who smoke or take snuff. Pipe, cigarette and cigar smoking are all covered. The author has grown, cured and processed tobacco for more than 15 years. He has persevered and built on his experience which he now relates in this book. Starting with the basics of preparing the seed-bed, selection of the type of tobacco and the actual growing, the author goes into detail on how to produce an acceptable grade of tobacco, one which meets the precise requirements of the smoker/grower. It will be unique; specially grown, cured and processed to meet the needs of the individual. A major problem up to now has been the difficulty of obtaining suitable equipment for Pressing, Shredding and Curing the tobacco. The Author has faced the problem and invented or adapted suitable equipment which can be made by anyone who is a handyman. Suitable diagrams show the parts needed and the principles to apply to make all you need for producing your own tobacco. This book can be the start of an enjoyable hobby. There is no need for a large garden or special knowledge. Save money and yet develop your own special brand. Make your own cigarettes, smoke your own cigars, or, if your choice is the pipe, produce pipe tobacco. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. xi + 114. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact.
