Tobacco Hav* Ahna (Nicotiana tabacum)
This tobacco is used to make cigars, among other things. It produces abundant fragrant leaves, used for cigars, but also for chewing. It likes the sun, but grows very well in cold regions. Also known for its beautiful pink trumpet-shaped flowers that attract pollinators.
