General Description: Basma Bafra is a premium Oriental tobacco variety from the Bafra region of Turkey, renowned for its rich aroma and sun-cured, delicate leaves. This traditional tobacco has been a cornerstone in premium cigarette and pipe blends, prized for its smooth, complex flavor and aromatic qualities.
Plant Characteristics: Basma Bafra grows up to 3–4 feet (0.9–1.2 meters) tall with small, thin, light green leaves that cure to a golden-yellow hue. The leaves are slightly crinkled, high in natural oils, and highly aromatic. The plant produces delicate pink flowers in late summer and thrives in warm, sunny climates with well-drained, sandy soils.
Taste and Benefits: Basma Bafra offers a sweet, rich, and aromatic flavor with floral and slightly spicy undertones. Its light body and smooth, fragrant smoke make it perfect for blending in high-quality cigarettes and pipe tobacco, providing depth and complexity to any blend.
Cultivation Recommendations: Sow seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Lightly press the seeds onto the soil surface, as they require light for germination. Keep the temperature at 75°F (24°C) and the soil consistently moist. Germination typically occurs within 7–14 days. Transplant outdoors after the last frost, spacing plants 12–18 inches apart. Basma Bafra thrives in full sun and well-drained, sandy soils. The leaves are sun-cured to preserve their distinctive flavor and aroma.
