cigarro de palha

Cigarro de Palha refers to a traditional Brazilian handmade cigarette, often called a “straw cigarette.” Artisans roll natural tobacco leaves in dried corn husks or other plant-based materials, rather than using conventional paper.

Key Characteristics

• Natural Ingredients: The tobacco, usually rustic and robust, pairs with the corn husk to create a unique flavor and aroma.
• Artisanal Production: Typically handmade in rural areas by small-scale manufacturers, cigarros de palha reflect a long history of tobacco use in Brazil.
• Unique Smoking Experience: The distinct flavor comes from the combination of tobacco and corn husk, offering a milder and less processed alternative to regular cigarettes.
• Cultural Significance: Popular in Brazilian culture, especially in rural regions, cigarros de palha serve as an affordable and traditional smoking option.

Thanks to their artisanal nature and cultural roots, ‘Straw Cigars’ have gained appreciation from smokers who value authenticity and unique taste.
