This variety originated in the Samsun region of Turkey near the Black Sea. It is prized for its rich taste and aroma, yet is mild for smoking. Plants grow 120-150 cm tall and are harvestable in warm countries in 65-70 days. In Turkey, the leaves are often sun-cured. An excellent addition to a cigarette or pipe blend, but also on its own.

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

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