What is its uniqueness? This is tobacco, the leaves of which are twisted either into a long and thick rope-rope, or into a braided pigtail and flagella, and thus it is fermented in its own juice. It looks extremely unusual. This method of fermentation of tobacco is used exclusively in those regions of the country where it grows, and the tobacco itself bears the name of these places.
Dark shade-dried tobacco, oily leaf.
This tobacco is part of the Nicotiana Rustica strain. This tobacco gets its name from the region where it comes from. Arapiraka is a city in the northeast of Brazil in the state of Alagoas. The region around the city of Arapiraka has always grown cereals, and cassava has always been its main product since 1848. But this began to change gradually when tobacco began to be cultivated. After the first tobacco planting, at the end of the nineteenth century, another 50 years passed before a healthy and lively tobacco cultivation culture settled in Arapiraka. Now the city is nicknamed "The Capital of Brazilian tobacco".
Rope tobacco production in Brazil has a large and surprisingly pre-industrial tobacco industry.
Tobacco cultivation is very common in the regions of Brazil and is deeply rooted in its culture. Brazil is the second largest tobacco producer in the world. In this market, only a few types are suitable for the production of cigars.
For production, most people use exclusively different types of tobacco seeds from Nicotiana Rustica. Tobacco leaf production is a practical skill. Twisting tobacco leaves into ropes is still a craft that requires experience and skills. After harvesting the leaves, they are sorted by quality and placed on drying racks in the shade. After 8 days of drying, the leaves are ready for the next stage. The first step is to remove the central vein from partially dried leaves. The interweaving and twisting of the halves of the leaves, give tobacco the shape of a rope. After reaching the desired dryness, the newly formed ropes are left to mature. There is a slow fermentation process, creates more flavor and provides the final dark brown appearance of tobacco rope.
Fermentation: Fermentation of Mineiro tobacco is carried out by direct contact of the leaves twisted together, forming a tight rope, which is constantly twisted during fermentation. At the beginning of fermentation, the leaves are colored in a dark brown tone. After fermentation, the flavors are naturally enhanced, and the sugar and nicotine content is balanced, the color changes from dark brown to black, which characterizes that the fermentation / fermentation process has reached its intended point.
Poço Fundo is a Brazilian municipality in the state of Minas Gerais. It had an estimated population of 16,841 in July 2016.

Type: tightly twisted tobacco leaves in the form of a rope, where the fermentation process takes place in its own juice. The interweaving and twisting of split leaves, give tobacco the shape of a rope. After reaching the desired dryness, the newly formed ropes are left to mature. There, a slow fermentation process creates more flavor and provides the final dark brown appearance of tobacco rope. The Brazilian, dark leaf/cigar filler provides a unique Brazilian flavor that goes perfectly with the cover leaves from the same region.
