Freshly harvested 2023

Family: Nightshade (Solanaceae)

Annual. 90 days to harvest

Hopi Tobacco.
Nicotiana Rustica aka Mapacho.
Compact plant with small leaves and gobs of yellow flowers. Leaves have a very high nicotine content. A fast-growing heirloom strain that makes a preferred smoking tobacco. or you can create rapeh snuff from this variety.

Sow seeds on surface and press in firmly, then keep evenly moist and in the light until germination. Tobacco likes a nitrogen-rich soil. Space plants 2 feet apart.
Once you bring a patch to fruition, it will probably volunteer the next year, springing up where you least expect it–a very independent plant!

i really enjoyed this read, on making mapacho from your leaves

and more connection to tobacco, have a look at the book “Plant Teachers: Ayahuasca, Tobacco, and the Pursuit of Knowledge by Jeremy Narby and Rafael Chanchari Pizuri”

& the documentary 1111iceland has a brilliant section on Sacred Tobacco. worth your time.
