Anyone grow Japan-8 tobacco?

Does it have the "liquorice" taste ChinaV?

pier

It did have hints when it was younger. It's becoming more chocolaty and cigar like now.

Sounds excellent.
How productive was this plant? Any pictures from your garden?

It was grown on land I didn't have access to by a friend so there are no photos. It was the most productive tobacco that year, but I suspect it's because his land was full sun and very fertile. It was intended that I would tend to it, but the fellow who owned the property, (not my friend), died and we stayed off out of respect for the widow.

Yes ! sounds very interesting
Japan 8 was one of the many strains I wanted to try this year before I cut down the list to a more "manageable" quantity !
I think I might try it next year (there we go again, another new BIG list to cut down... life can be hard sometimes )
