Black Indian Tobacco Seeds (Nicotiana tabacum)
General Description:
Black Indian tobacco is a traditional variety native to India, valued for its dark, rich leaves and strong, robust flavor. Historically cultivated for local use in chewing tobacco and traditional hand-rolled products like bidis, this variety stands out for its bold character and high nicotine content.
Plant Characteristics:
Black Indian tobacco grows up to 4–5 feet (1.2–1.5 meters) tall with broad, dark green leaves that mature into deep brown or nearly black hues after curing. The leaves are thick, slightly crinkled, and highly resinous, contributing to their strong aroma and flavor. The plant produces small pink flowers in late summer and thrives in hot, humid climates.
Taste and Benefits:
This variety delivers a bold, full-bodied flavor with earthy, smoky undertones and a strong nicotine kick. Its intense profile makes it ideal for traditional uses like chewing tobacco, bidis, or robust pipe blends. The deep, rich taste offers an authentic experience for those seeking stronger tobacco varieties.
Cultivation Recommendations:
Sow seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Lightly press the seeds onto the soil surface, as they require light to germinate. Maintain a temperature of 75°F (24°C) and keep the soil consistently moist. Germination typically occurs within 7–14 days. Transplant outdoors after the last frost, spacing plants 2 feet apart. Black Indian tobacco thrives in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. Regular watering and occasional feeding will support strong growth. Harvest leaves as they mature from the bottom up, and air-cure them in a shaded, ventilated space for 4–6 weeks to achieve their dark, rich color and bold flavor.
Uses and Benefits:
Black Indian tobacco is perfect for producing strong, traditional tobacco products like bidis and chewing tobacco. Its robust flavor also makes it suitable for blending in bold pipe tobacco mixtures.
Packaging:
Each packet contains premium-quality Black Indian tobacco seeds, carefully selected for strong germination and rich, bold flavor.
Shipping Information:
Orders are processed within 1–2 days and shipped worldwide, including within India. Delivery typically takes 1–2 weeks.
