Tobacco Virginia Golta Seeds (Nicotiana tabacum)
General Description
Virginia Golta is a high-yielding flue-cured tobacco variety widely cultivated in Central Europe, including Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. This standard tobacco type is primarily used in cigarette and pipe tobacco blends, valued for its smooth smoking qualities and balanced flavor. It is known for its late flowering, medium to high leaf quality, and relatively low nicotine content.
Plant Characteristics
This variety grows to a medium height, producing smooth, well-formed leaves with a pinkish flower. Virginia Golta is highly resistant to common tobacco diseases, including potato Y-virus, and has strong root development in seedling beds. It is particularly noted for its relatively low gum production and excellent curing properties.
Taste and Benefits
Virginia Golta has a mild, smooth flavor with a slightly sweet undertone, making it an ideal base for American-style tobacco blends. It is commonly blended with Burley (30%) and Oriental or Spiced tobaccos (10%) to enhance its aroma and complexity. The leaves are often treated with sauces and flavorings during processing to create a well-rounded smoking experience.
Cultivation Recommendations
• Sowing: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost at 21–26°C (70–78°F). Surface-sow without covering, as tobacco seeds require light for germination.
• Transplanting: Move seedlings outdoors after the risk of frost has passed, spacing plants 50 cm apart.
• Growth Requirements: Prefers full sun, well-draining soil, and regular watering. Highly adaptable to European growing conditions.
• Curing: Primarily flue-cured, but air curing is also possible for certain blends. The leaves undergo fermentation to develop their signature mild and smooth taste.
Uses and Benefits
Virginia Golta is the foundation of most American-style cigarette and pipe tobacco blends. Due to its mild and smooth smoking characteristics, it is ideal for blending with stronger tobaccos like Burley and Oriental. Its high resistance to diseases and high yield make it a preferred choice for both commercial and home growers.
Packaging
Each packet contains high-quality, carefully selected seeds to ensure excellent germination and plant vigor.
