Red Russian Tobacco Seeds (Nicotiana tabacum)
General Description:
Red Russian is a traditional tobacco variety known for its rich, robust flavor and striking reddish-brown cured leaves. Originating from Russia, this variety is highly prized for its bold, earthy taste and is commonly used in strong cigarette and pipe tobacco blends.
Plant Characteristics:
Red Russian grows up to 4–5 feet (1.2–1.5 meters) tall, with broad, thick leaves that mature from dark green to a deep reddish-brown hue during curing. The leaves are slightly oily and perfect for air-curing, contributing to their strong aroma and flavor. The plant produces small pink flowers and thrives in cool to moderate climates.
Taste and Benefits:
This variety offers a bold, full-bodied flavor with earthy, smoky undertones and a slightly spicy finish. Its higher nicotine content makes it ideal for crafting strong tobacco blends, delivering a rich, satisfying smoking experience.
Cultivation Recommendations:
Sow seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Lightly press seeds onto the soil surface, as they require light for germination. Maintain a temperature of 75°F (24°C) and keep the soil moist. Germination typically occurs within 7–14 days. Transplant outdoors after the last frost, spacing plants 2–3 feet apart. Red Russian thrives in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. Regular watering and occasional feeding will support healthy growth. Harvest leaves as they mature from the bottom up, and air-cure them in a shaded, ventilated area for 4–6 weeks to develop their rich flavor.
Uses and Benefits:
Ideal for creating strong, bold cigarette and pipe tobacco blends, Red Russian is valued for its robust, earthy flavor and excellent burning properties.
Packaging:
Each packet contains premium-quality Red Russian tobacco seeds, carefully selected for high germination and bold flavor.
Shipping Information:
Orders are processed within 1–2 days and shipped worldwide, including within India. Delivery typically takes 1–2 weeks.
