Comstock Spanish
(Nicotiana tabacum L.)

There were two primary varieties grown in Wisconsin-Minnesota cigar binder area, one was Wisconsin Seedleaf or Broadleaf and the other was Wisconsin Havana Seed. Havana Seed is said to be the original Wisconsin variety.

But it was introduced as a so-called Spanish variety and came to be known as Comstock Spanish, after the name of a pioneer grower. ⁽¹⁾
Havana Seed being an old variety post 1880 introduction. ⁽²⁾
