Any advice on a type of tobacco?

[Vinson]

So I've been reading up on making shisha and things of that nature. Learned a little bit about the plants themselves ( Nicotiana tabaccum, N. rustica / etc. ). Still have no idea what the difference in these plants are really, just that one is milder than the other. Anyway, I've managed to enjoy this luxery so much that I've really become quite interested in the production of shisha, and now I want to try and make my own ( not for long-term smoking, just a one time kinda thing to say I did it ). So I guess what I'm asking is... does anyone know more about the plants or where / what kind of tobacco will work for a tiny little batch of experimentation?

the tobacco that the big guys use usually comes from overseas or is just produced there...but you can always use virginian tobacco which you can find easily...im guessing using their pipe tobacco for the first test would be ideal!

Thats not entirely true, lots of shsisha makers use domestic tobacco, most notably is that al fahker uses the virginia tobacco you mentioned.
