How to Grow Tobacco

just for kicks i e-mailed A.S. to see if they would divulge at least the types they are using, didnt really expect an answer.
today got this, not only an answer, but the actual blend.
havent tried these, but it looks like it SHOULD be good, so i wonder about it after hearing people here say they are bad?

Hmmmm

Very interesting information . 90% flue cured either here or another country .

Isn't flue cured the most cancerious type ?? at least acording to the anti's ??

What is non GMO

duno what the gmo means myself...
i signed onto their site to try to get more info on their organic program, but am waiting for them to "certify" i am over 18... lol

GMO.. Genetically modified

Can Genetically modified be a true organic product ?? What process is used to Genetically modifiy something ??

True it might be grown using all organic farming . But isn't a truley organic anything all natural ? altering genes can not be natural

Edit

btw I just seen the NON - GMO so forget that line above lol

well i finally broke down and tried some american spirit...
they sent 2 $10 coupons, so for a buck something for 2 packs what the hey!
got 1 yellow, supposedly the lighter of the bunch
1 black "perique"and 2 blue, supposed to be their "original flagship full flavored"
i would have liked to try the maroon full bodied, but that style was sold out
all were relatively smooth, almost to the point of being a light, but as you hit the halfway point aqnd beyond there was a definite roughness felt in the throat (possibly the small percentage of burly they add not being mellowed enough?)
the closest i could compare it to was the "medium" that several companies offered a few years back
all 3 were so similar that one had to light 2 different styles and try a drag of each to notice any real difference
This was especially dissappointing with the supposed perique blend, i had hoped enough perique style had been added (especially with the price per pack) to have a noticeable portion of that taste coming from that.
overall, being they are a higher price than other national blends, i would say not worth the money...

Funny thing about "organic" is...
Petroleum based fertilizers and insecticides are not organic, but the substance they are made from (crude oil) is the essence of everything organic. It's just a bunch of organic stuff squeezed and heated up that turns into crude oil. Something just aint right about that.

That's a sporting reply from American Spirit !
Nice of them.

How did it go... the euro content was certified non-gmo but our domestic was not?
I've heard they are taking regulation a bit farther over there... just a matter of time before they do it here.

I'll need to actually look up the daffynition of 'organic'. If some batch of dna has been tampered with, it remains an organism and will still grow in nature... in some cases, it may just grow better with addition of fertilizer at a certain time in it's growth cycle, or roundup can be applied without significant damage...
Regulation of the technique is probably a good thing. At least identification of it.
No telling what trait they will be able to manipulate from one year to the next !

Makes no difference to me, personally... we live in the flight pattern of an airport !
I could become the impact of a loose part at almost any time.
