Aztec Tobacco (Nicotiana rustica, Mapacho): Aromatic and Strong Wild Tobacco

The Aztec Tobacco (Mapacho) is a wild tobacco that grows in parts of South America, including parts of southern Mexico and the Yucatan. This aromatic and super-strong tobacco can be used to make cigars and cigarettes that have a very high nicotine content. As compared to regular tobacco, Mapacho has up to 20x more nicotine.

Mapacho is a great aromatic tobacco plant to grow. After harvesting the leaves you would cure the Aztec tobacco by hanging the leaves to dry in the sun or have them in a closed space with indirect heat for several weeks.

You can also grind the dried tobacco leaves to make a snuff. In some parts of South America, the Aztec Tobacco leaves are soaked in water that is then snorted. This way to use Mapacho is called singado.

While Mapacho likes a hot and subtropical climate best to grow you can also grow it in a colder climate without problems. The plant grows easily and quickly and can reach a height of up to 2 meters with pretty yellow flowers. It is recommended that you provide your seeds with sandy, nutritious soil and a deep pot so that the plant can grow long roots for optimal growth. You can also sow the seeds directly in soil outside if the climate is warm enough. Just keep the soil moist and make sure that your Aztec Tobacco gets plenty of sunlight.
