Cool picture! In actuality though this is not a tobacco plant. The "Cigar Plant" is named for the flowers that resemble the shape and size of Cigars. A good friend of mine used to have some just to attract hummingbirds. They were a little hard to keep up I believe...

Some Tobacco plants do produce nice looking flowers (for the more ornamental species) and can look pretty cool.

Black Tobacco cultivated for cigars may look like this:

They are frolicking in Atlantis, playing football, wearing crowns and laughing and procreating justlike on the package. Much more fun than my pet rock. It wouldn't do any tricks.
