General Description
Crimean Shag (Nicotiana rustica) is a traditional Crimean variety of shag tobacco (mahorka), valued for its high nicotine content and strong, rich aroma. This hardy, fast-growing variety has been cultivated in Crimea for generations and is well-known for its compact growth, resilience, and quick maturation.

Leaves: 15–23 broad, dark green leaves with high nicotine concentration.
Maturity: Fast-growing, matures in 45–60 days from transplanting.
Nicotine Content: Up to 9.2%, offering a strong and intense smoking experience.

Cultivation Recommendations
Climate: Thrives in temperate and cooler climates, with excellent drought resistance.
Soil: Prefers moderately fertile, well-drained soil with a pH of 5.5–6.5.
Sowing Depth: Surface sow, press lightly but do not cover, as seeds need light to germinate.
