Classified as a Oriental or Turkish type tobacco, 'Smyrna' is aromatic and was historically used for cigarette blending. The plants grows to about fifty-five inches tall when topped, or five to six feet tall when allowed to develop flower heads.
Its downward curling leaves have slightly undulating margins, are broadest at the middle and narrower at the two equal ends, tapering to a pointed apex with more or less straight sides. They average ten inches wide by twenty inches long) and according the USDA tests, it averages 33.5mg of nicotine per gram of cured leaf.
Our seed originated from that USDA accession, number PI 552758 and was sent to us by David Pendergrass from Tennessee.
Tobacco plants are very interesting, ornamental, and have uses apart from consumption. This section of the website is intended for the historical and informational purposes of thinking adults. Anyone who has been raised since the turn of the 20th century already knows that tobacco can be addictive and can contribute to various medical ailments. If you do not smoke, it would seem illogical to start. We in no way encourage people to use any form of tobacco product.
