Berley 413 is a tobacco variety that is an early-ripening, high-yielding sort characterized by high-quality leaves and low sugar content (no more than 0.8%). The average nicotine content ranges from 1.4% to 4.5%. The plant has an elliptic shape with raised leaves. The leaves are sessile, long, and yellowish-green, very smooth, narrowly elliptic with a slightly pointed tip.
Technically usable leaves per plant are typically 29–31 pieces. Leaf length varies from 43 to 46 cm, width is about 23 cm. The vegetation period begins with seedling transplanting and ends with the maturation of leaves of the mid-break after 80 days; the last break reaches 109 days.
Due to the combination of low sugar content and moderate nicotine levels, Berley 413 provides a soft and balanced flavor when smoked. High density and smooth leaf texture make it a popular choice among connoisseurs of quality tobacco.
