You can successfully grow any variety of tobacco in your location. Tobacco is grown commercially in Wisconsin, the Andes and in Nepal. So don't worry about that aspect.

For cigarettes, consider growing 3 varieties:

• any flue-cure ("Virginia")
• any Oriental
• any burley

Plan to sun-cure the Virginia and Oriental, and air-cure (in shade) the burley.

For cigars, you can make do with a single variety (e.g. Corojo 99) for wrapper, binder and filler. These are air-cured.

For pipe blends, you can go with the same as for cigarettes, perhaps with the addition of any dark air-cured variety.

It's a list of tobacco seeds you can buy. The pricing and ordering instructions are at the bottom of the page.

Also, be sure to read the New Growers' FAQ, linked in the menu bar. You will be starting very late in the season, but the good news is that an increasingly likely "Super El Niño" may prolong your growing season.
