The Cultivators Handbook of Natural Tobacco

Book Description
Native Americans believe that Tobacco is one of the most sacred gifts of the Great Spirit to his People, along with corn, beans and squash. I also believe that tobacco is a great gift of the great spirit of the natural world, and I want people who enjoy tobacco to be able to liberate themselves from the thrall of the multinational so-called "Tobacco companies," whose products really have nothing to do with the sacred herb and are nothing more than industrialized poison. Now I'm sharing my years of experience raising natural Tobacco in what I hope is a useful, interesting and thoughtful book - The Cultivators Handbook of Natural Tobacco. As I hope you'll come to see, the ultimate aim of this book is to make it possible for smokers to no longer be enslaved to criminal corporations for their personal supply of pure, natural tobaccos.In addition to sharing my own growing experience. This is not a "How-To" book but a "How It's Been Done For Ages" book. I've reached far into the past to find tobacco growing books written by masters of the subject, from Cuba to the Philippines, from America to Brazil. In an all-new Section Two I've gathered together the best advice from these old-time masters regarding every aspect of Tobacco cultivation, from which varieties grow best in which soils and environments, to the carefully guarded secrets of curing and flavoring the primo leaves of this unusual plant. Also, I'll give you an internet address where you can download all of these original, invaluable tobacco resources for free in PDF format for easy reading on your computer or any reading device. I wrote this book to offer you the accumulated knowledge of generations of Tobacco growers. From them you'll learn how to grow a personal crop of the finest heirloom organic tobacco, whether for personal consumption, for sharing with a family member who is trapped in the death spiral of smoking commercial so-called tobacco products, or for beginning a small business as a natural tobacco entrepreneur selling your products at a local farmers market or over the internet. You will not only learn the ancient techniques of Native American tobacco growers, but you'll also find information on the techniques developed in past centuries by master tobacco growers around the world. You'll discover that growing your own heirloom natural tobacco can be fun, and in spite of the impression most of us have, tobacco is easy to grow, harvest, cure and enjoy on a very small scale - even just one or two plants. I hope that this book will inspire you to become a native natural tobacco grower and, even if only in some small way, help to take back for yourself and your friends one of the great sources of wealth and pleasure in the world, long ago stolen by the White race from the Native Americans and later stolen by giant corporations from the people who live on and work the sacred soil of Mother Earth.

Tobacco Culture
Author: John van WilligenPublisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 0813183987
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
Whereas most crops drive farmers apart as they compete for the best prices, the price controls on tobacco bring growers together. The result is a culture unlike any other in America, one often forgotten or overlooked as federal and state governments fight over the spoils of the tobacco settlement. Tobacco Culture describes the process of raising a crop of burley from the perspective and experience of the farmers themselves. In the process of gathering information for the book, the authors performed most steps in the tobacco production process, from dropping plants, burning seedbeds, topping, and cutting to stripping and baling the finished product. Van Willigen and Eastwood document both present practices and historical developments in tobacco farming at the very moment a way of life stands poised for dramatic change. In addition to growing practices, the authors found other common threads linking growers and tobacco producing regions. Where tobacco is grown, it often becomes the major cash crop and carries the health of the economy. Farmer Oscar Richardson states, "It's bread and butter. It's the industry of the community, the state as a whole.... You take tobacco out of Kentucky and this farmland wouldn't be worth a nickel." Combining cultural anthropology and oral history, John van Willigen and Susan Eastwood have created a remarkable portrait of the heart of the burley belt in Central Kentucky.
Tobacco Control and Tobacco Farming
Author: Wardie LeppanPublisher: Anthem Press
ISBN: 1783082941
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
The bulk of the world’s tobacco is produced in low- and middle-income countries. In order to dissuade these countries from implementing policies aimed at curbing tobacco consumption (such as increased taxes, health warnings, advertising bans and smoke-free environments), the tobacco industry claims that tobacco farmers will be negatively affected and that no viable, sustainable alternatives exist. This book, based on original research from three continents, exposes the myths behind these claims.
Tobacco
Author: D. L. DavisTobacco
Author: Iain GatelyPublisher: Open Road + Grove/Atlantic
ISBN: 0802198481
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
“A rich, complex history . . . Deeply engaging and witty” (Los Angeles Times). Long before Columbus arrived in the New Word, tobacco was cultivated and enjoyed by the indigenous inhabitants of the Americas, who used it for medicinal, religious, and social purposes. But when Europeans began to colonize the American continents, it became something else entirely—a cultural touchstone of pleasure and success, and a coveted commodity that would transform the world economy forever. Iain Gately’s Tobacco tells the epic story of an unusual plant and its unique relationship with the history of humanity, from its obscure ancient beginnings, through its rise to global prominence, to its current embattled state today. In a lively narrative, Gately makes the case for the tobacco trade being the driving force behind the growth of the American colonies, the foundation of Dutch trading empire, the underpinning cause of the African slave trade, and the financial basis for victory in the American Revolution. Well-researched and wide-ranging, Tobacco is a vivid and provocative look at the surprising roles this plant has played in the culture of the world. “Ambitious . . . informative and perceptive . . . Gately is an amusing writer, which is a blessing.” —The Washington Post “Documents the resourcefulness with which human beings of every class, religion, race, and continent have pursued the lethal leaf.” —The New York Times Book Review
