Details
The most commonly cultivated tobacco species is native to the Americas but has become a global traveler, with dozens of unique cultivars originating from various parts of the world. Our specific strain, initially sourced from Strictly Medicinal Seeds in Williams, Oregon, has evolved into a landrace through years of cultivation and seed saving on our land. These ornamental plants, capable of reaching up to six feet in height, are adorned with abundant, gorgeous pink, trumpet-shaped flowers. With diligent nurturance and maintenance, these plants can produce a plentiful supply of leaves suitable for harvesting and curing. The resulting home-cured tobacco offers a distinct essence, vastly different and more nuanced than any commercially available product.
