Tobacco Seeds - Turkish

Back to All Tobacco Varieties

Turkish tobacco, sometimes known as Oriental tobacco, is celebrated as one of the most aromatic varieties of tobacco available. Unlike Burley, Criollo, or Virginia tobaccos, Turkish varieties produce an abundance of slightly smaller cigar tobacco leaves per plant (Prilep and Bursa) as opposed to a few large ones exclusive for cigar wrappers. Turkish cigar tobacco is now an American staple as a flavorful, world-class cigar binder. Other popular Turkish tobacco seed varieties include: Bafra, Balikesir, Izmir Ozbas, Sherazi.
