- Nicotiana tabacum
Bag of 400 seeds
Selected from the Orinoco de Virginie type, this variety has dark green leaves close together on the stem. Very thick, around 60 cm long and 30 cm wide, they turn dark brown on drying, revealing an intense fragrance.
With a richer flavor than most Virginia tobaccos, it is well suited to blending for pipes, cigars and cigarettes.

We now know that it's the hundreds of chemicals, additives and addictives (thousands of which are present in cigarette smoke) that make tobacco a deadly plant. The tobacco industry and the economic stakes generated by its sale present it to us as a highly carcinogenic plant, and with good reason, but it's important to differentiate between Tobacco, a medicinal and sacred plant, and what is sold to us under the label "smoking kills". Often called the "master plant" by many tribes, it has always been used by gastrointestinal or respiratory route - in juice, chewed or smoked - for its many uses. In particular, it is highly prized for treating migraines. In homeopathy, a very low dose of Nicotiana tabacum is also prescribed for migraines, nausea, vomiting and circulation problems. Tobacco is apparently still used to combat parasites. Historically, it was used to relieve asthma, coughs, rheumatism, gout, pain and neuralgia, epilepsy and to make purgative enemas. In 1614, physician William Barkley wrote: "Used in moderation, there is no medicine comparable to tobacco. Native Americans and many Latin American tribes use tobacco ceremonially to communicate with the spirits (through smoke), to thank the Creator, to pray for good harvests and fish catches, to make peace with the enemy (peace pipe) or for rites of passage.
Sow in trays, under light cover, at a temperature of around 18°C. Cover superficially with soil. Transplant into individual cups when plants reach several leaves. Plant out after the last frosts. Dwarf varieties should be spaced 20 cm apart in all directions and full-grown varieties 80 cm apart in all directions.
