The kinds of tobacco grown in different localities vary greatly. For instance, in Pennsylvania thegreat thing is Havana seed tobacco, which, in other words, means tobacco grown from seed broughtfrom Cuba. Most smokers are ignorant of this fa(fl, and imagine that Havana seed tobacco means thatthe seed is in some way mingled with the natural leaf.
