Although region, cultivar, and seasonal conditions will affect the general harvest window for most crops, tobacco plants are best harvested when their bottom leaves (oldest growth) begin to turn a seasonal pale golden yellow, regardless of month

Most tobacco leaves should have at least 3-5 of stem available to clip from at the time of harvest
