That’s why I keep several packets of tobacco seeds in my seed stash, even though I’ve never smoked. From what Selco described, even starving people will pay for smokes, so it should be a good barter item.
Aside from the usual food, medicine, and wine. Which I also grow :)

That’s why I have a stash of tobacco in my preps. Don’t touch the stuff, but better than gold in terms of barter.

I will bet that Venezuela promised to pay with FUTURE exchanges of diamonds and other things - not cash-on-the-barrelhead barter.

Got that, too. It’s just harder to grow. Doesn’t sprout when planted :p
