NC 95
Nicotiana tabacum

NC 95 is a bright leaf flu cured strain that has been widely used in breeding programs to impart its qualities into new strains. It is a tall columnar plant reaching up to 6 feet with little to no suckering. The leaf is closely spaced up the stem with an average of 20-24 leaves reaching 22 to 27 inches in length and 15-17 inches wide. Maturity is in 60-65 days, with the leaf beginning to ripen on the plant at blooming starts. It air cures easily to a light golden brown and is an excellent choice for flu curing. Yields 3-4 ounces of dried leaf per plant. 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.
