Bragança Tobacco
-
Grown organically in remote Amazon rainforest regions, Bragança is harvested only once every three years, resulting in limited yields.
-
After harvest, the leaves are rolled into dense tubes called carottes, fermented for six months, and then transported by canoe down the Amazon River before reaching the factory.
Packaging and Availability
-
Only 50,000 packs are being produced, making this a true limited edition.
-
The packaging differs from the rustic crate-like boxes of the original Amazon Basin, emphasizing convenience and collectibility.
Why the Dagger Format?
The Dagger was created in response to customer demand for a smaller, more accessible version of the Amazon Basin cigar. According to CAO brand manager Cory Beardsley, “Daggers are our answer to that. It’s the same blend, same rainforest story, now available in a new format”
