It has been several years since I have participated in the
giant and unusual veggie exchange here on bp. Well the last year I was involved in it pork chop (Steve Marley) had donated some of his shade leaf tobacco seeds. I kept those seeds in my collection for several years until last season. In 2025 I finally got around to planting them and I saved some seed. I now have enough shade tobacco seed "dust" to plant like 50 acres!! lol If anyone wants to try growing Some, you can just send me a self address stamped bubble, and I'll send you some seed.
If this is the real CT Shade leaf strain, it may become extinct soon... as they are no longer growing this type. (There may be a couple CT MA growers who still grow a few dozen acres under the shade tents.) It just was too labor intensive. It is harvested one leaf at a time from the bottom of the plant up as each leaf matures and ripens. The only remaining shade leaf that is currently grown these days is produced in third world.
