I have a friend who lives in Escondido, CA. That's a city about 8 miles in from the southern coast of California. (North County San Diego) We have a mediterranean climate here. So, he was just goofin around trying to grow tobacco, because he throws anything and everything in the ground just to see if it will grow. But, it grew extremely well. Why don't you try that? Then while it's growing, buy yourself a 10-drawer Excalibur dehydrator and dry it all and roll it yourself. Soak it in rum first before dehydrating and see if it will improve the flavor maybe. Check out on uTube -- growing tobacco. Maybe you can do it hawaii? Then after your first crop, maybe you will have weaned yourself away from cigarettes and just vape only.
