La Palma Havana is a columnar plant growing to 4 1/2 to 5 feet in height to the flower head. The plants produce 9-10 harvestable leaves, with moderate suckering. The leaves average 9-11 inches in width and 16-20 inches long. Maturity and flowering begins at about 55-60 days with the leaves ripening at approximately 70 days. Each packet contains about 100 seeds.
Tobacco plants are very interesting, ornamental, and have many uses apart from consumption. Tobacco seeds are not classified as tobacco products. We promote the cultivation of tobacco plants, but we do not promote the use of tobacco products.
Tobacco seeds are tiny and look like dust, but each one has the potential to quickly grow into a huge tobacco plant. They need light to germinate. Sprinkle the seeds onto the surface of a moist and sterile seed starting mix. Do not cover the seeds. They also must never be allowed to dry out, so they are frequently (but gently) watered using a mist from a spray bottle. While waiting for germination, it can help to cover them with some kind of plastic sheeting to help hold moisture.
Once tiny seedlings emerge, you can pick them out one by one and move them into individual cells. Very lightly fertilize and never allow the potting soil to dry out. Within 6 weeks it'll be ready to plant in the garden. Wait until all risk of frost is over before planting outdoors.

Tobacco is not just for smoking. It can also be used as a natural pesticide. That being said, nicotine in and of itself is not what makes cigarettes so addictive, but the chemicals (pyrazines) added to commercially produced cigarettes is what cements that addictive behaviors.
