Brooklyn Homegrown Tobacco | BK Stories 

I don’t know why this got recommended to me 8 years after it was released but I’m so happy I got to see this. So badass.

She literally opted to not take part in their system anymore. She couldn't be more badass if she was in Boston harbor dumping tea off ships.

I quit cigarettes 11 years ago and it was the best decision I ever made. Apart from the occasional cigar, tobacco is really not a part of my life anymore. That being said, I'm all for people doing what they enjoy, especially when they make it a craft and stick it to the system while doing it. Kudos to Audrey!

I grow tobacco and I live in cold rural Washington state. It's the easiest plant I've ever grown from seed. I'm surprised it's so rare for smokers to grow it.

This woman is a true American hero!

Australia needs to do this. It's like 20 bucks a pack there. Tobacco control isn't about health, it's about taxation. They tax the hell out of anything addictive

Why did RU-vid randomly recommend this to me. Lol. Hope this badass is still sticking it to the man.

This is bad ass! People stepping up and fighting back.

Thats great. Organic Tobacco. She doesn't have to worry about it being sprayed with countless amounts of chemicals and she knows exactly what it is and how it was grown.

when i visited Kentucky in 1980 a lot of rural folks grew their own tobacco and weed. it was a dry county and you had to buy beer off of the sheriffs brother. behind the gas station. if you wanted shine you bought it from an old feller. he lived in a small house behind a mansion.

WE NEED THIS WOMAN EVERYWHERE!

props to you! for standing up for self and doing what you think is best, and right for you.

I used to be a smoker but quit so I can watch my kids grow up and play with them. I personally dislike tobacco and the harm it can do, but more importantly, as an American, I support people's right to choose for themselves. Any law that takes freedom away from people is tyranny and I can't abide. I don't recommend smoking, but grow that shit, woman! Lol

You might live in New York, but you have a southern attitude. And I can't tell you how much I love knowing they can speak their mind. an amen and a hell yeah to you.

good on you! that is the American Spirit of independance right there. Grow Your Own!

ive really been looking into growing my own, and now that ive seen how easy it is, i will.

I grow my tobacco in tent with leds

Of course her tobacco doesn't have strange additives like ammonia or asbestos.

I'm from Yorkshire England .I've got some golden Virginia planted in trays. It grows well over here.

I'm growing tobacco for the first time this year. They're thriving here in CO. This was very informative. Can't wait to harvest and enjoy.

More power to you. I've had enough of this too. If you can grow it in Brooklyn, then I should be able to grow it in Southern California.

Friking awsome thanks for the info!!🙏

Very cool and lots of respect to them for growing their own.

Massive respect, hope your plants thrive ❤

Good for you. As a Libertarian, I stand with you.

Here in southern Ohio/northern Kentucky, been doing this for 20 years with my two friends. Got guidance from some retired tobacco graders that worked for United States Tobacco ( UST). Best cigarettes in town. Maybe in the region. Working on a Nat Sherman blend.

this droning background string music is awesome and fitting for the craft

Bout to start growing some this coming spring! Cant wait

Man. I stopped cigs for a while but seeing her take a drag of a jack/square makes me want one. The whole taste and rough sensation of a smoke 💨

I don't smoke tobacco anymore but that was very interesting, and she is a Rock Star in my book. You go girl!

This is great keep up the good work

Good to see Joey Belladonna has found a knack for gardening

I don’t like tobacco. I hate it. But I like how this lady is standing up for herself. Salute!

Bless you Audrey .subscribed of course.

Good for you! Tobacco taxes are outrageous in N.Y. add NYC tax on top of that. I believe it's $15-16 dollars for a pack of cigarettes in NYC now in July 2021. I admire what you are doing, good luck to you

this is outstanding!

You know the leaf is ready when it starts to look like a smoker’s skin 🤣

Good ON you! I live in Australia, and we smokers are DEMONISED for our choice of wanting to smoke Tobacco. It costs me $53+ AUD for a 25gram pouch of tobacco. I roll my own cigarettes. It would costs over $55+ AUD to buy a pack of 50 Tailors (already pre made cigarettes) Well actually probably more. Every year, our Cigarette prices go up 1-2 or more dollars AUD. The government taxes over 50 percent and take the money. If they really wanted people to quit, they would offer subsidised quit plans, etc. A 7 day pack of nicotine patches are $40 dollars AUD, these release not even 1 mg of nicotine per hour and take 8 hours minimum to start working. These work for some, but not for everyone. Then they have all the other nicotine replacement options, all are overpriced. You are looking at a minimum of $50AUD for a "starter pack" of 20 nicotine capsules and the white breather (not vape), it's a plastic breathing item you open and put a nicotine capsule/cartridge in. I brought some seeds 2 years ago. I havn't planted or tried to yet,. but I am going to soon once winter is almost over. Alcohol is the biggest drug out there. Causes the most problems, but it's "LEGAL" you can brew it in MOST places legally in this world, but yet Tobacco is the sinners choice they make it out.

thanks for sharing

love the bird.. gonna grow my own next year. too late this year to start a crop in Canada

in the southern US many grew up cropping fields of tobacco as their first job, usually before a driver's license - tobacco farms were everywhere in ENC -not very many tobacco fields to really count nowadays

Love this girl!

8 years later this pops up for me. I would do this, if i smoked. Power to her.

African Grey is one of my favorite bird! Very sweet and honest video, thank you

I have been waiting and spending too much money, for too long, not to do this myself. I love to grow plants anyway.

Anything against big busness im all for. Great job!

Excellent 😊 Great idea that can be applied to other daily use products like food and herbs

I'm actually going to add a small amount of tobacco plants in my garden this year I want to get the hands-on experience of what it's like to be a cigar roller wish me luck

Awesome sauce!

Love it!

Government: !!!!! You: I don't remember asking you a GOT DAM THANG

one question, how much is the yield from 100 plants? I'm hoping to get a few pounds from about 50.. (small garden) sorry.. second question.. I think I could use a paper shredder for processing?

Great video. Just wondering, you grow it, harvest leaves, string them up, wait till theyre all brown, then de-vein then shred? Do you now have to cure it? Thankyou

My spring project will be growing my own organic mullein and organic tobacco.

In Canada, we pay high taxes on tobacco, beer, cannabis and liquor sold in stores. Canadians can grow 50 lbs a year of tobacco for their own consumption. You can brew your own beer. You can grow 4 plants of cannabis at a time per person. You can distill your own liquor too, but thats a bit funny in Canada, the law isnt clear on if its legal or not. I know in some American states you can buy a tax stamp and that lets you distill, but in Canada its a Grey area. So, for most vices or habits, if you prefer, you can DIY and save a ton of money that you would have paid in taxes. And these become hobbies that you enjoy doing while you save money. I myself have started brewing beer and its fun and I save about 75% over buying from the store. But some would rather complain about the taxes than DIY. Enjoy!

She's one of the healthiest smokers in America since she's growing her own. The amount of chemicals they spray on tobacco for "flavour" is ridiculous, and a huge part of withdrawal symptoms when people quit. Nicotine may be addictive, but it's not half as bad as the crap they add.

I just picked a few leaves this morning. Brooklyn, we up!! I'm gonna try rolling my own cigars

hi and sorry for my english, i wanted to ask you for advice, i am growing tobacco in pot, to make cigarettes for personal use, plants grow well, i wanted to know how to dry the leaves at home properly, then chop them and make cigarettes, could you tell me the whole procedure to have a tobacco ready to smoke? I don't have a barn or stables so I should do everything indoors

I love this video

Used to know a guy who'd bring in an empty big name pack with his home grown-and-rolled cigarettes to the gas station every so often. It was magic to us working there, that stuff tastes and smells infinitely better than the stuff you buy. Could almost chew on the rich taste...

Wow amazing the tobacco plant is actually a special plant

I'm a non-smoker. God bless you for standing up for human rights. My sister stopped smoking but in the early stages of this bullshit, when she went into a restaurant and was asked if she wanted to sit in the smoking or non-smoking section, she would always say I want to sit in the smoking section so that I can blow smoke in their faces while eat and smoke.

Im not really for people smoking cigarettes, having been a chain smoker for a decade. And knowing how bad it messes your lungs up. Its a terrible addiction. But this person is doing it the best way. Thats natural tobacco with none of the terrible additives. If you're going to be a smoker this is it. I would not reccomend that anyone starts though.

Anyone know what instrument that is in the background

I bet her tabacco is great to smoke no harsh chemicals and a real natural taste escape flavor.

New York eh? I live in WA and want to try this. I'm thinking starting inside in Feb. Any tips and advise would be greatly appreciated.

Nice segment 🎉

I like your tobacco press ... Make more videos Thank you The bird is cool too

Thinking of doing this also . Here in The Netherlands the prices are going nuts . I have a garden but no basement :( and to hang those leaves in my living room goes a little bit too far for me 😂

Plus, wouldn't this be a lot better for you cause it's not full of pesticides and chemicals tobacco companies put in theirs

Where do I buy this?

Fabulous! And, far healthier than the alternative.

what type of leaf is that? some leaves are painful to inhale..

I'm all about doing this, basically free tobacco, just buy filter tubes and a roller..no chemicals either. This is what it may come to in the future for us smokers anyway.

Very cool i always wanted to grow my own wraps

Legend. Stand up for your rights ✊🏼

Funny, that I found tobacco sorts to grow are so good, it's impossible to buy comparable for any money. Still, I prefer to grow tomatoes and melons (those are also better, than those in shops).

Good ol american know how plus a great stuff u I will do it myself attitude.Love it..from Australia.

I am waiting for a NY citizen to show their poppy grow, then I will be impressed..

what is this kind of music called?

She's a really cool lady.

Hi Audrey. Nice vid. Nice looking tobacco

Good point! ❤

I'm standing up for myself by quitting. I just started chantix yesterday. Wish me luck.🤞🏻

Guys we are being denied to buy tobacco in South Africa during the covid lockdown. It is illigal to sell tobacco. We can't buy tobacco legally. I have Virgina gold and Black Sea Turkey but I don't have clue about how to gorw it. I made some seadlings. They are just speouting. But I dont know how much to tobacco can yeild (100 plants can yield.) I need enough tobacco to last me a whole season. I am just learning as I go along. What climates does tobacco grow in, should I do it indoors winter or will it be fine outdoors? I need to figure out how to ferment tobacco as well. Any advise will be appreciated. Wish it was ganja. It just grows so much easier.

Best video ever respect I love smoking

Good for you

I absolutely support her, and this association. Heavy smoker from Ukraine

I grow my own . Best cigarettes I have smoked were my own homegrown . There’s no “reconstituted” tobacco in my homegrown . Commercial cigarettes are around 50 percent recon tobacco. Basically everything you shouldn’t smoke on a tobacco plant (stems veins and poor quality leaf that is half eaten by bugs) or scraps that fall on the floor is liquified and a bunch of chemicals to help “smooth” the flavor and increase nicotine absorption. They spray the liquid garbage tobacco onto a roller and cut it up and pretend it’s tobacco. That’s most likely where 90 percent of the carcinogens come from. I’ll stick to my own homegrown. Just DO NOT SELL IT ! Cause that will get you a charge from the atf .

Where did you get that audio track?? Badass!!

I started smoking at the age of 18 I'm 25 now. My experience with tobacco has been great. But at the same time I know it's hard to quit smoking. But when I see ladies like this smoking I think to myself wow. I eel beutiful on the inside just like she feels beautiful on the inside

Hi were can i buy the masjien to roll the siggies

What type of tobacco are you growing? What is a good time for planting? I'm all the way across the country in Southern California.

what type of tabaco was that ? virginia ?

This lady is great!

We do this in Philippines too. but we roll it on dried java plum leaves no chemicals just pure organic

What type of tobacco does it she grow? There are different types.

That is so inspiring! I have chewing nicotine gum for month in South Africa where tobacco is banned during the corona virus lock down.

All that talk of sticking it to the man and she has a pack of purchased cigarettes right next to her lmao 🤣

How do I grow vape cartridges?
