'Yellow Pryor' is a flue-cured type of yellow leaf tobacco historically used for cigar and plug tobacco wrappers as well as for pipe and cigar fillers and cigarette tobacco blends.
According to Killebrew and Myrick, 'Yellow Pryor' has heavy, tough, wide leaves with fine texture and a bright color.[1]
Our seed is grown for us by heirloom tobacco preservationist, 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.
