Brazil is one of the few countries to offer truly original tobaccos, with its Mata Fina and Arapiraca varieties distinguished by their natural sweetness, sweet notes, and particularly careful fermentation. The Bahia region concentrates the majority of Brazil's premium tobacco production.

The state of Bahia, and more specifically the municipalities of Itaberaba, Cruz das Almas, and São Gonçalo dos Campos, constitutes the heart of quality Brazilian tobacco. The clayey soil and semi-arid climate of this region impart a unique texture to the leaves and a richness in natural sugars that makes them easily recognizable. Brazilian Mata Fina is one of the most appreciated wrappers and binders by renowned international blenders.
Its color ranges from chocolate brown to deep black, and its long fermentation develops characteristic notes of sweet coffee, molasses, milk chocolate, and dried fruits. Arapiraca, grown in the state of Alagoas, is primarily used as a binder in many premium cigars, adding sweetness and cohesion to the blends. Its slow and even burn makes it a sought-after ingredient by master blenders.
Pure Brazilian cigars, such as those offered by Dannemann, Café Crème, or the artisanal productions from Bahia, provide a soft, sweet, and coffee-like aromatic profile, with a moderate strength that makes them accessible to a wide audience.
