YIKES! I just last week ordered 100 Black Sea Samsun seeds from The Tobacco Seed Company They're really good, but they ship from England. It takes almost a month to get them. They also have pretty detailed instructions.

My luck has been a bit worse than yours. Two of my biggest plants died promptly after transplanting them outdoors into the native soil of my backyard. I'm now keeping the next biggest plant outdoors in a pot filled with moist potting soil. It did well in the hot sun today, but it's only been outdoors for about 36 hours.

I highly recommend this book:

It's got tobacco history, different methods of the process, and tons of other information.

Please keep us updated.

Good luck with the new seeds and thanks for the book title. I'll be going to the bookstore, and keeping you posted with our garden.
