Tobacco Seeds - Maryland

Back to All Tobacco Varieties

Maryland tobacco shares many similar properties to both Burley and Virginia type cigar tobacco. Because Virginia tobacco was known for its heavy production in the face of poor conditions, many Maryland and Pennsylvania varieties were crossed to feature some of these desirable tolerances (Pennbel 69). Maryland, Ohio, and Pennsylvania tobacco leaves are some of the best tobacco seeds for a mild and mellow cigar filler. Other popular Maryland tobacco seed varieties include: Catterton, MD 609, Ohio Dutch, Pennsylvania Red.
