Tobacco is the fresh leaf harvested from a grown Tobacco plant. It is the raw crop that is dried and shredded into a Pouch of Tobacco. It cannot be eaten.

It suits smokers who want a supply that does not run out once the shops are bare. Its main strength is that it renews every season from a garden. Its main cost is a very long grow time and a short shelf life once picked.

Tobacco comes only from farming. It sits outside the loot tables. The Carpenter is the best occupation for tools. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. The Construction Worker and the DIY Expert also start with some Carpentry skill.

Using

Tobacco grows from Tobacco Seeds. The plant needs about 866 hours to grow, roughly thirty six days. Each grown plant gives two to four Tobacco at harvest.

Sowing works from March through July. March is the best month to plant. September through February are bad months, when the crop struggles. A March sowing gives the long crop time to finish before autumn.

Fresh leaves go through the Dry Tobacco recipe to become Tobacco (Dried). Dried leaf is then shredded with scissors or a sharp knife into a Pouch of Tobacco.
