Product number: 542508
Origin: South America
Latin: *Nicotiana tabacum*

Bolivian Criollo Black is classified as a dark tobacco, but it has many characteristics similar to a Burley type. The taste is comparable to a medium-strength Burley. The leaves turn light green and yellow as they ripen, and it air-cures easily to a nice light brown color. The variety can be used as pipe tobacco, or blended with other tobaccos for cigarettes or cigars.

Tobacco plants are diligent bloomers, in sun or shade, dry weather or rain!

Sowing method: February-April indoors at 20-25°C or outdoors in May (in a warm, shady spot). Always pre-sow in a seed tray. Sowing medium cocopeat with silver sand, sieve the top layer extra finely (kitchen sieve). Spread the seeds over the seedbed, press lightly and mist to moisten: it's a light germinator! Transplant in potting soil in good time to prevent growth stagnation. The plants can be moved outdoors in May, as soon as the weather becomes consistently warmer.
