Never could get into that brand. They were always packed too tight with a hard draw. Dunno about you, but I'm not the kind of guy who can suck a golf ball through a garden hose.
Handrolled with good tobacco suited me better, and there's a zen to it.
Pick the leaves. Hang them to dry for about a month. Bundle them up to ferment/cure for three months in hot water cupboard. Shred using a cheap tobacco shredder. Only labor intensive part. Store in a food preserving bag, silver material thing to keep air and light out.
I give most of it away.
Get about 100-150grams a plant. Plus new seeds.
I planted 50 new plants this year. Bloody chickens left me with a dozen.
That's what I do for ciggies, doesn't seem it would make a nice pipe tobacco. I've done some vacuum sealing experiments which turned out close to pipe baccy. Been trying to grow enough for a full bale to compress so it can properly ferment, takes a shocking amount tho.

While ive made other life style changes.
I've never been smarter, stress free. Learn easy as fuck. Great memory retention and recall.
Probably about 1 cigarette worth a day.
No addiction signs. I dont crave when i go days without. (Leave the pipe at home when travelling)

What worked really well for me.
Put the leaves in a large sealed container. Put in it a bowl, add rum/whiskey.
Leave for weeks.
Its reslly smooth, ferments where piles dont. You need to hace done moisture, the booze adds it.
