Yellow  Oronoko Tobacco Seed

Tobacco seeds are VERY tiny.  Package contains 100 seeds.

"flue cured type"

Yellow  Oronoko comes from a strain of tobacco called Orinoco.

Orinoco is said (not sure I believe this to be totally accurate) to have been the very first tobacco brought to the United States around 1745. 

This yellow strain was referred to by Burpee's as being grown for 40 years in the 1888 catalog. That would put its introduction around 1848.

This tobacco has long, narrow leaves that stand up well and have a fine texture. 

Its historical use was a pipe and cigarette tobacco.

It is said "to be unique in that it doesn't have a strong tobacco flavor, it's a very mild flavored tobacco".  "For yellow wrappers, cutters and smokers.  Cures bright, or can be cured for dark filler.  It has good width and fine length.  Does best on light gray soils." 

Yellow  Oronoko is intoxicating in the field on a hot day.  The smell is so sweet. I love it and I don't smoke. 

Its hard to describe.  The smell is sweet, spicy, and alluring.
