As bad as it is for seedlings/seed starting, coconut coir, rehydrated with full strength triple-20 fertilizer, and then mixed with other soil amendments, makes a good, cheap source of a potting soil/compost “Simulant” that gives me great results.

Have some faith my german friend, I'm planting it on fucking soil and it's going to grow big
If you want to try containers: this is the mix I use. If I can’t get screened compost or 
composted cow manure, I just use purchased potting soil in its place. And since I use liquid fertilizer, I leave the time release fertilizer out, so it doesn’t interfere with ripening.

I was a bit worried since it seemed transplanting slowed the growth process but indeed everything looks fine! I'll make good use of the space, I have more seedlings to put on cups in the coming days

Day 31 update
Found the bigger aztecs laying on the ground and had to do a quick fix with those plastic sticks. I emptied the water on the bottom since some started showing some yellowish leaves and dryness. I'll let the soil dry first and see if they improve

[MEGA UPDATE]
First 4 plants outside (4/30)
I used universal substrate mixed with some regular soil. For those big growing bags the price of the soil is about 6-8€ per bag

What's the minium amount of soil in Liters and minium height for nicotina tabaccum definitive pot?
How many angels can dance on the head of a pin? It depends on the tune.
I believe it is strain related: same pot, same soil mix, same window.
Top: Kentucky Dark (from Amazon.de) starting to flower
Bottom: Prilep (nwtseeds) no flowers.

There is no definitive. And my answer is in gallons.
Oriental: ~1 gallon
Full-size variety: ~4 gallons
I've grown 4-foot tall cigar varieties in a 1 gallon pot. The problem for me was that I had to anchor it to the ground, to prevent its blowing over in the slightest breeze. Tobacco roots seldom penetrate more than about 1 foot, though with enough artificial crowding (i.e. in a pot) the roots may extend to every bit of available soil.
