I do not know if my figures would go across the board but cost to grow tobacco for me is less than a dollar for 20 7X40 cigars. This does not include labor but it is free for me as I begin with seed and finish with ash. The problem is time and instant gratification. You need lots of time to find what tobaccos you like and how to blend them but once you only have to grow what you enjoy the cost of growing and processing is minimal to nothing per cigar. The instant gratification is lacking you already know that if you find a tobacco you want to try out that it will take at least 2 years maybe many more before you get to test you theories and see if what you created is close to what you where originally looking for if not start over. Growing, processing, and rolling tobacco has a learning curve but it is not that hard. Very rewarding to make your own anything
