All Single Tobacco Varieties: $2.50

New! TA250 Jim's MILD CIGARETTE BLEND FOR 1ST TIME GROWERS With all the recent interest in growing tobacco at home due to the latest tax increases, we have noticed a lot of folks buying a lot of different types of tobacco seeds because they simply were not sure what they needed to grow a tobacco similar to the commercial brands in the stores.
If you are an experienced grower and want to sample the various tobacco types and create you own blends, certainly buying individual varieties of seed and trying them out in different recipes is the way to go. But, if you are a first time grower, and all you want to do is grow a blend of tobacco that will produce the best possible mild smoking cigarette, then here is a special blend of burleys, bright leaf virginia, orinoco and red leafs for you. This blend includes our best selling cigarette varieties, in a percentage based blend that Jim has been tinkering on since 1996, and now believes it is as close as it can get to satisfying the needs of most cigarette smokers. This premium pack of seeds should germinate out over 500 transplantable plants ( after figuring 80% germination rate and estimating losing about 20% during transplanting and even taking in a 10% mortality rate for first time growers ). If you figure 2 ounces of yield per tobacco plant ( normally you would figure 3-4 ounces, but you should always allow a margin of error when dealing with a crop harvest ), then you would wind up with about 1,000 ounces of cured tobacco. This equates to about 62.5 pounds of tobacco.
$24.95 per packet of approximately 1,000 seeds!

Too late to plant tobacco from seed? Probably for most of the U.S. as tobacco needs three to four months growing time. But not worry! Tobacco seeds store very well for future plantings. Tobacco has a "half life" of five to ten years! Half life means that at least 50% of seeds saved should germinate in five years. Store your tobacco seeds in a cool, dry, dark location and you should have excellent germination next year.

Good News! Tobacco videos are back in stock! See Tobacco Page 2 for info and ordering. Also the Cuthof Tobacco Shredding machine is in stock too. Get yours for harvest time before they are sold out!

A customer writes: "I am very pleased with the seeds you have provided for me!  I had no problem getting them to sprout and grow.  Your assistance over the phone is top notch as well.  When I had questions, you answered them clearly, and with a sense of humor.  I love that!  Highly recommended place to start for the newcomer if they're considering growing their own. Thank you again for all your help and direction!  You have made this a very enjoyable experience=:D"

A customer writes:
"I just have to tell you, I am soooo happy with your seeds. I do believe every single one germinated! I have 400 plants planted so far and another 200 and some to go! Not bad for a $12.50 investment. I think they are a lot hardier than I had thought. It's a learning curve for sure, but seems they grow easily. Your product is excellent!"
