What Is Brazil Cigar Tobacco?

[Connoisseur Kim]

Since I had already added all CC marcas on Cigar Wiki a long time ago, many anonymous BOTLs began to add NC things without notice. I found someone stated that Brazil is Oscuroish version of Cameroon, which sounded suspicious to me. So, I searched the Brazil cigar tobacco on the web to see whether this statement was true or not, but never found any related proofs at all. Any idea?

Brazilian tobacco is all grown in the Bahia region, and Mata Fina is the most common type. You also have Mata Sul, Mata Săo Gonçalo, Mata Norte, Arapiraca, and Sumatra.

Almost all of those seeds and strains are native to Brazil (Sumatra of course originating in Indonesia).

Thanks @Cigar Surgeon! As a CC enthusiast, NC tobbaco strains are confusing to me buddy!

To make things crazier, dip your toes in the pipe tobacco world........it’s a big world of tobacco. Lol

     *In my small and little unprofessional way, I've paid attention to the varying world tobaccos in accordance with my own tastes and so on. I've found that Brazilian tobacco is tough and sweet as far as a blending tobacco and so on. I prefer a sweet, cool taste to the tongue when I enjoy my smokes. Tobaccos like Sancho Panza is noted for being mild, warm and salty to the taste. Brazilian tobacco is very nice and do-able, just like Cameroon and Ecuadorian just like everywhere else!

That's interesting to hear! I never had any NCs TBH.

I believe the CAO Brazilia Gol uses the Arapiraca wrapper grown in Bahia.

Yeah, some NC marcas grow Dominican Strains in other countries which makes me extremely confused. It's like remembering all celebs LOL ?

Yes, there's a beautiful simplicity to CCs. Even in the pre-Rev days. Everyone knew what strains were grown and who was growing them in a small growing area.

Much agreed! I prefer the simplicity of CC strains over NCs. CC using Corojo 2012 nowadays right?

Just to make matters even worse, tobaccos that were named based on their origins are now being grown in multiple nations while keeping the original name. True 'Cameroon' is from Africa, but you have Ecuador, Dominican Republic, and now Honduras growing 'Cameroon'.

Connecticut Shade, and Connecticut Broadleaf are the most egregious examples, although I have noticed a trend finally that the CT portion is being dropped when referring to Ecuadorian Shade and Ecuadorian Broadleaf.

Much agreed! I'm surprised that Sumatra is also growing in Brazil, which made me even puzzled more than ever. It's something like IBM's PC became today's PC standard (same goes on AMD's x64) LOL.
