For a good shisha tobacco blend it is always advisable to add a small amount of the iconic Aztec tobacco, which may be quite strong but infuses the blend with its lovely notes of violet, giving it that wonderful flowery aroma.
For this seed kit we hand selected 3 tobacco plant varieties to create your own shisha tobacco blends:
- Virginia Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum)
Virginia tobacco has a high sugar content and is often used for light coloured tobacco blends.
- Burley Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum)
Burley tobacco is a popular cigar tobacco variety, which is also often used for cigarette tobacco blends.
- Wild Aztec tobacco (Nicotiana rustica)
Aztec tobacco is a Native American tobacco plant variety, which has been introduced successfully to colder areas in Europe. The plants are extremely resilient and develop high levels of nicotine. When fermented, Aztec tobacco acquires its unique aroma of violets.
The seeds of each variety are packaged in a separate sachet.
The seed sachets and detailed growing instructions in German and English are packed in a beautiful gift box - a great, sustainable gift for the garden. Any plant lover will be pleased.
Seeding advice:
Pre-culture from
February. Sprinkle seeds only on the substrate and press lightly, do not cover with soil. Germination at approx. 20°C. Harden and plant in May. Planting distance 40 cm in the row and 40-60 cm between rows. Regular hoeing, piling up and above all a good water supply allow the tobacco plants to thrive wonderfully.
