Took a couple trys to get my seedlings started, but wow such a beautiful and massive plant. How they fold up in the evenings just so interesting how alive this plant is. My plants are now starting to flower looking forward to having my very own tobacco tobacco pods for next season

Rico, is it safe or possible to create a concoction/tea from the leaves as opposed to smoking? Are there medicinal benefits that you know of that could be had by this method? Thanks!

Hi Marie, Tobacco is extremely potent. Safety or harm relies on a ton of factors. This is one of the species used in making “Mapacho.” You can find out more about it at this link https://doubleblindmag.com/mapacho-nicotiana-rustica-sacred-tobacco/

As of 3/25/2021 and ongoing, international seed orders including Canada are made at buyer’s own risk. We cannot guarantee delivery and in the case of non-delivery there will be no refunds or re-sends. We will receive and ship orders as always, but cannot account for the actions of foreign customs or Ag., which is the reason for this non-guarantee.
International orders (no live roots or plants) are shipped via AIR MAIL only and we do not provide phytosanitary certificates. Due to new, extremely stringent regulations, we cannot successfully ship seeds to: The EU, Montenegro or Scandinavia, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Arabia, Mexico, Central and South America or Africa. We still ship with some success to: Canada, Asia, and European countries not in the EU.
We sadly regret not being able to disseminate seeds more freely, and hope that our gardening friends living in places that will not accept seed shipments have made good use of what they received from us in the past and will continue to save seeds and support biodiversity on a local level.

I am highly impressed with the species of Nicotiana, using triple filtered bong and taking 3 massive hits I can say this stuff knocked me on my ass. I cannot thank you enough for your company, quality, and service. Best place to get your seeds if anyone is questioning anything, everytime I come on the website I always end up making another order?

Probably my new favorite houseplant! Germination rate was essentially 100% and they grow so quick you can see the change over just a few hours. They drink water like it’s going out of style and can’t seem to get enough fertilizer either.
I’ve got a couple growing at the moment, all indoors – the one in a 4” pot is 3’ and starting to flower, the one in a 3” pot is about 2’ and still growing, and the one I kept in a 1” seedling pot out of curiosity seems to have topped out at about 1’ and has converted all its soil into root mass.
The 100 seed packet is essentially a lifetime supply given how fertile this species is, and honestly a 1 seed packet would be too. Nonetheless I’m tempted to get 10,000 and raise an army of the things for the hell of it!

Which Tobacco Variety is easiest to plant?

Hi Cindy, Thanks for writing! Hopi tobacco volunteers readily, so is a clear choice for easy direct-seeding. I personally like to grow Virginia Smoking Tobacco best, and it is fairly easy to work up in pots and transplant. I don’t know exactly why I like it best. It may be a kind of emotional attachment, as it was the first tobacco I ever saw and identified. It has a regal presence. But Hopi also has its charms. richo
