It’s a heavy producer which can reach up to 8 ft in height with an average of 26-28 sticky leaves per plant averaging 14 inches in width and 32 inches in length.<\/p>\n

When nearly finished, the leaves will turn from light green to yellow as they ripen and air-cure to a light brown. Mild flavored. Can be used as a pipe tobacco or blended with other tobaccos for use in cigarettes or as cigar filler.<\/p>\n
