Cuban Tobacco Seeds

Back to All Tobacco Varieties

Cuban tobacco (AKA: Criollo Tobacco or Creole Tobacco) is one of the oldest varieties of cigar tobacco still grown. During its long history, Criollo cigar tobacco has been cultivated for every part of a cigar including the filler, and binder, and if grown as a shade tobacco, Criollo is one of the best tobacco seeds for flavorful cigar wrappers. Criollo-type tobaccos can cure to be bold and dark (Bolivian Criollo Black) or as a medium golden brown (Havana 608 and Habano 2000). Other popular Cuban tobacco seed varieties include: Corojo 99, Criollo 98, Havana 142, Piloto Cubano, Vuelta Abajo.
