Some land was cleared around some ruins at Wingfield in St.Kitts West Indies.
St.Kitts was settled by Sir Thomas Warner in 1623 and tobacco was cultivated in that area until the mid seventh century.
Now the ruins have been cleared, tobacco seeds that have been dormant and burried for some 360 years have started growing.
I have one plant.
I wonder if they are valuable in a historical research sense (OK include a monetary sense as well) that they area window into the past and have not been subject to evolution, pesticides etc in that time.
Would it be worth contacting the big tobacco companies?
I plan to let it grow and then I will try and roll (my inner thighs are not as supple as they once were /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif) a cigar ad have one or two puffs.
Anyone want a few dried leaves (to roll your own coi\igar cigarette fioll your pipe etc) when I 'harvest' the plant ?
PS It is NOT marijuana/marihuana/ganja or cannabis!
