Tobacco packets contain about 1200 to 2200 seed, and they run about 10,000 to 20,000 seeds per gram.
Up until a few years ago, tobacco was an allotment crop in 48 states - you needed Agriculture Department permission to grow more than 1/10 acre. Now you don't need permission, and you can grow as much as you like! Burley types are planted at 6 - 7000 per acre (about 2 1/2 feet apart), the Havanas at 12,000 per acre (about 2 feet apart). For home use space 2 - 4 feet apart. A large plant can yield up to 5 oz. Curing isn't difficult, and good results can be obtained at home. Tobacco prohibition is coming, so learn to grow your own additive-free and tax-free supply.
There are very few sources for unpatented tobacco seed left, and these are all unpatented varieties.
Varieties susceptible to Black Shank should be grown in rotation with other crops.
