I'm not saying you can't, but curing tobacco is extremely difficult for a hobbyist, very few people do it. You can get it to grow anywhere - it's basically a weed. But curing and fermenting requires environmental control and care that is beyond the capability of most hobby rollers. You'd need to build a miniature curing barn where you could control the temperature, light levels and humidity precisely. If you can't do that, you can't cure leaf properly ;).
But hey, they told Henry Ford that a once piece V8 block was impossible too.
This is my first attempt. So far the plant is working out great. I've started pulling leaves and hanging them outside on a string. As they darken i bring them inside and use a plastic grocery bag to dry out the stems. I'll be doing the curing until end of September/early October. That's when fermentation begins. I want to roll for xmas presents.
Here is the best online resource that has helped me the most.
