Description: Each Lot will contain 1,000+ Seeds Each of - Golden Burley, Havana 263, Hopi, Black Sea Samsun, Long Red, Virginia Brightleaf, and Kelly Burley. Total of over 7,000 Seeds! History teaches us many things. Seasoned preppers know this very well. There is much knowledge to be gained from studying our own history here in the U.S. as well as globally. What things are most valuable in times of unrest? Whether is be war, financial collapse, or natural disaster? History has very clear answers. Of course the obvious things are food, medicine, and the other essentials in life. However, the things that are sought even more than these items, are pleasure goods. Things such as alcohol, chocolate, coffee, and tobacco. Looking at these things, how many can you personally produce? None, unless you have a still and a lot of grain to spare. Aside from tobacco. While 200 years ago nearly every home in American had at least a small patch of tobacco, home tobacco gardens have almost disappeared from this country. Growing your own tobacco will support you in several ways. Firstly, if you are a tobacco user, it will serve to provide you with high quality personal leaf you can enjoy immensely. Secondly, it will provide you with a excellent bartering commodity. What would your 2 pack-a-day neighbor trade for a pound of sweet leaf after a few days cold turkey? Whole leaf tobacco can be cured and stored indefinitely. Thirdly, as all our tobacco seeds are heirloom quality, you can harvest and trade/sell your own seed. Having a well stocked seed bank is important to all of us in the prepper community. I truly feel that tobacco has a major place in your bank. I have been growing tobacco and tobacco seeds for years now. The seven varieties included in this set represent the best of the numerous strains I have experience with. They cover all the bases one could need in producing their own tobacco products. Cigarettes, cigars, chew, snuff are all covered in this set. I also suggest trying your hand at it now, and practicing some growing as well as trying your hand at some production. Blending pipe and cigarette blends, making old fashioned tobacco twists and plug tobacco, are just a few fun projects. We are small family owned operation and all of our seeds are grown right here in the U.S.A. We work very hard to ensure top quality seeds of pure strain. We have hundreds of happy return customers. All of our seeds are 100% organic and are heirloom quality. If you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to ask. Thanks for your business. Specific Variety Details - 1.
