[ Approximately 100 seeds per packet ]
'Walker's Broadleaf', also known as "Walkers Broad Leaf," is an old fire cured-type cigar tobacco. It produces large, ten inch by twenty-nine inch leaves that are broadest at the middle, narrower at the two equal ends, with the length being over twice the width. It has tolerance to black root rot, no resistance to black shank, and no resistance to mosaic.

Originating in Cumberland County, Virginia as a farmer selection,[1] it was donated into the USDA's tobacco collection in August of 1961 by the Virginia Crop Improvement Association. Our seed originated from USDA accession number PI 552374 and 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.
