Description: With the price of tobacco products skyrocketing, why not grown your own? Caribbean/Cuban Style Cigar Blend Seed Kit This kit includes 1000+ seed of each individually packaged Corojo 99, Habano 2000 and Dominican Republic Olor. It is everything you need to create a quintessential Cuban Style cigar and best of all it is at a discount to buying the seed packs individually. An additional small “sample” of tobacco seed often finds its way in to my orders as well. Corojo 99 is highly sought after as a wrapper by many prestigious well-known cigar manufactures. When aged, Corojo 99 produces a dark brown silky oily wrapper that is described as having rich flavors of cedar, spice, pepper, nutmeg and earth. In addition to producing a supreme wrapper leaf Corojo 99 also makes an excellent bold full-flavored binder and filler. It’s tough to find a more recognized cigar wrapper than Habano 2000. Habano 2000 is the rich, spicy, dark wrapper found on many award-winning commercial cigars. It makes an excellent binder and filler for cigars as well and delivers the classic Cuban/Caribbean style flavor that makes a great cigar so enticing. Dominican Republic Olor is widely grown and used as one of the main components of many cigars produced in the Dominican Republic. It can serve as both a binder and wrapper although it’s more traditionally used as a filler. It will pair nicely with Corojo 99 and/or Habano 2000 and makes an excellent “Cuban style” cigar. The plants typically get a little over 6 feet tall but I’ve had them get huge, over ten feet tall, when grown in sheltered locations and allowed to flower. If you are just starting out with growing tobacco to make your own cigars the long ageing time required by some varieties may seem discouraging at first. Many Cuban seed cigar varieties (Corojo 99, Habano 2000, and Dominican Republic Olor) require a long ageing time of about 2 years to reach their full potential. This ageing period can be greatly reduced to about 2-3 months if the leaf is kilned (stored at 125 degrees F and 70% relative humidity) for 1-2 months prior to ageing. There is plenty of info online about how to make a tobacco kiln. Some home growers in warm climates also have success storing their tobacco at medium case (i.e. moist enough to be pliable when touched) in hot attics over the summer in lieu of building a kiln. All of these cigar varieties can also be used in pipe and chewing tobacco blends as well (with little ageing time required). All plants were grown here in the beautiful USA and seed was collected from bagged flower heads to ensure varietal purity. I do not use any non-organic pesticides, fungicides or herbicides on my plants. Germination instructions and growing tips will be included with your order – feel free to contact me if you have additional questions during your grow. Free shipping in the US. Tracking is not available. Seed will be sent in a discreet envelope.
