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 lead to various forms of cancer.  If you do not smoke, it would seem illogical to start.  We, in no way, encourage people to use any form of tobacco product.

In his 1954 work, "The Gentle Art of Smoking", Alfred H. Dunhill was nostalgic for a past when smoking was an "art" and enjoyed as a pleasurable pastime in elegant smoking rooms. He remarked that the "furious tempo of modern life" had resulted in tobacco, in the form of ubiquitous cigarettes, being used as a narcotic to calm frayed nerves and becoming a habit and therefore no longer pleasurable.  Common sense dictates that anything you do to your body in excess (a habit) is detrimental.

Burley Cultivar 'TN86' Tobacco
Nicotiana tabacum L

Although this variety was bred as an improved smoking tobacco, it is an amazing plant that grows from a seed as tiny as a grain of sand, to well over six feet in height.

The plants make very interesting additions to flower gardens. Since their flower heads will reach six feet or taller, they are typically planted in the back of the bed.

Tobacco prefers healthy, rich soil in full sun.  It blooms in late summer. It is an annual (tender perennial in warmer climates).
