Tobacco, which is used for filling and forming the binder sheet, is grown on its own plantations in the Gomez family, and its quality is strictly controlled by Litto Gomez himself.

This combination of tobacco leaves gives Dona Flor little cigars a unique, unique bouquet, which has already been appreciated by aficionados around the world.
