 I have mullien everywhere around the farm but have never heard of putting it in smoking mixes. I grew my own tobacco this year and have been mixing that with my cannabis a little bit here and there.  
 How is the home grown tobacco? I've heard it's much different than anything that can be found at the corner store smoke shop. Was it pretty easy to grow?

I like to pick the mullien before it starts growing the flower stalk, just pull the whole plant roots and all. Hand it to dry for a couple weeks. I strip the fluffy leaf away from the stiff ribs. Makes it easier to crumble everything up together by hand.  
 Mixed the tobacco is fine, on it's own it's a bit rough. I have not "cured" it like the norm, I just hung it to dry then crumbled it into jars and bags. I grew Hopi and Delaware Indian tobaccos and Bel-B which I got at the NASA Ames center in Maryland that was growing in their planter outside. The Bel-B grew the best of the 3 but took the longest. The Hopi and Delaware were flowered out mid summer but the Bel-B didn't flower until right before frosts. I grew them in my greenhouse and they went crazy. 
 Been mixing mullien for 6 months, smooths out everything no coughs at all. Can’t recommend it enough 
 Tried some at Lake Satoshi and can confirm, super smooth, very nice smoke and flavor! I think everyone who tried it, liked it. I'd probably buy it by the oz/lb if I could 
 Yeah? Thats interesting i grew ~ 5 plants this year, seeded enough to sell for next year 
 Well then! LFG!
