The Brazilian export of tobacco for cigars is notable for its particular characteristics,
In Brazil, tobacco was already known as a native crop and was widely consumed in ceremonies by indigenous tribes long before the arrival of Europeans. This tobacco was extensively exploited by Portuguese colonizers. A major regulatory and market milestone occurred in the 18th century when the Marquis of Pombal regulated the planting and sale of tobacco in the colony.
Currently, Brazil is the second-largest tobacco producer in the world and its largest exporter. The Brazilian export of tobacco for cigars is notable for its particular characteristics, due to the sensory qualities that elevate the quality standard of cigars when used in blends by top global brands.
The products of Menendez Amerino & Cia. Ltda. captivate our senses and are based on the organoleptic properties of the pre-Columbian tobaccos produced in the demarcated region of Recôncavo in the State of Bahia.
