I've been wanting to do that for a while now but haven't tried it yet because the Wikihow article about growing tobacco says that the last step is to age it for 5-6 years. Turns out that step is optional (it even says so in the article, I just never read past the first bullet point), though you'll get harsh tobacco if you skip it. But I don't smoke, so I don't care about harshness.

Anyway, you should give it a try, maybe it's fun, and working with plants is always a good time :3
