The Shtambur tobacco is a traditional variety hailing from the rich agricultural heritage of Turkey. Renowned for its smooth flavor and distinct aroma, Shtambur is a versatile choice for both novice and experienced growers. This variety has been cultivated for generations, offering a connection to the artisanal craftsmanship of Turkish tobacco farming.
Characteristics of Shtambur Tobacco:
• Plant Structure: Compact, robust plants with medium-sized, lance-shaped leaves that are well-suited for a variety of growing conditions. • Leaf Quality: Thin, light-textured leaves with a golden-brown hue upon curing, perfect for high-quality blends. • Flavor Profile: Shtambur delivers a mild and aromatic smoke with subtle earthy undertones and a hint of sweetness, making it ideal for smooth, balanced blends. • Climate Adaptability: Thrives in warm, temperate climates with plenty of sunlight and moderate rainfall.
Cultivation Guidelines:
1. Seed Germination: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Use a fine seed-starting mix and lightly press the seeds into the soil without covering them, as they require light to germinate. 2. Soil Requirements: Plant in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (5.5–6.5). 3. Watering and Sunlight: Ensure consistent watering to maintain moist soil, but avoid overwatering. Provide full sun for optimal growth. 4. Harvesting: Harvest leaves individually as they mature, beginning with the lower leaves. For best curing results, hang the harvested leaves in a well-ventilated, shaded area until they achieve the desired color and texture.
