Welcome to Tennessee. I'm southeast of you in Nashville. I'm with dude that said to roll a blunt out of a cigar... lots easier, no muss no fuss, no stealin'. However, come this fall if you still really wanna pursue the project go down to the auction where they sell dried and cured tobacco at market. I'm sure you could find enough just on the floor down there to try out your theory. I catch your drift though- the raw leaves are huge and would roll a massive bomba. Good luck!
