You can start the seeds right in the dirt or start them indoors. They're easier than growing tomatoes and grow a lot faster.
Curing isn't all that difficult. There are a few good write-ups on it. Some people even use large foam coolers and wood dowels.

Here is one such article: http://www.victoryseeds.com/tobacco/...ltivation.html

If you didn't want to make cigars from it, you could chop it up and grind it fine to make cigarette, snus, chew, etc.
