Hey there guys I joined the forum to learn more about growing tobacco. I've always had a nack for growing all kinds of plants and I have become very interested in Turkish tobacco varieties. Ever since the first time I tried Turkish tobacco I have loved it. The exotic spiciness and all it's rich nuances are simply amazing. I recently was given a sample of whole leaf 'Basma' as well as 'Izmir' and now I'm interested in the idea of growing these rare strains of tobacco.

Welcome I thinks you will like f.t.t.

Welcome!.. I wouldn't call Izmir a rare strain though. It is probably the most common strain used for cigarettes and pipe tobacco. There are plenty of rare Turkish tobaccos though that are being grown by members here. Good luck.

Welcome! Growing tobacco is addictive by itself, it will keep you busy for years. You're in the right place.

Wow! Thanks for the warm welcome. It's my understanding that Izmir is fairly common along with Prilep. Some Xanthi is considered Basma as well. All I know if that the sample of 'basma' I have in my possesion is absolutely fantastic and I can't seem to purchase it anywhere.

You should probably look up Deluxestoogie's threads on here, he has grown many types that you have listed, including several variations of each. Also, we have a member who is from Turkey, and grows several of these currently. Definitely lots of info on here, and a great group of people as well!
