    I bought some here..http://www.tobaccoseed.co.uk/

    Good tips on the site too.

    As far as I can suss and thats been said earlier,you need a licence to grow even personal amounts:( Perfectly legal in the UK though)

    Thank you for the link! I bookmarked it. On the contrary, the more I read it appears that both the UK and EU freely allow tobacco to be grown.

    No license necessary unless you are growing commercially AFAIK.

    Growing it to sell, rather than for personal use.

    I think you need a licence regardless of whether you're doing it commercially or not.

    A pal of mine does this in his attic with lights on timers and stuff, something about splitting the males and females up its all very complicated
    But he enjoys it ,it smells very strong though I don't smoke so all tobacco stinks to me but this takes the cake

    My Kentucky Burley KY90 are about 8 inches high now.
    The flower border, Persian Blue (Papaver Somniferens), legal, sets it off a treat.

    Only take the yellow / white ones off

    hang them in a dry well ventilated place that gets sun
    and as the leaves dry and shrink its
    "prepareable" chop slice or dice into thin slices and smoke your lungs out :-)
