Tobacco has a long history in Trinidad, dating back to the indigenous peoples who cultivated and used it for medicinal, ceremonial, and recreational purposes long before European colonization. When the Spanish arrived in the 15th century, they encountered the native tribes growing tobacco, which they introduced to Europe. By the 18th century, tobacco became an important cash crop in Trinidad during British colonial rule, particularly in the fertile lands of the island's northern and southern regions. Large plantations developed, and the production of tobacco increased to meet both local and international demand. Over time, the industry became central to the island's economy, particularly during the 19th century. However, with changing agricultural practices, the decline in the global demand for tobacco, and the rise of other industries such as oil, the prominence of tobacco cultivation in Trinidad gradually diminished. Despite this, tobacco has left a lasting cultural and economic imprint on the island.

Our family has a rich tradition of farming our own tobacco and hand-rolling cigars, in the southern village of Lorensotte, Palo Seco Trinidad, a craft that was enjoyed by the elders. We grew our own tobacco on the family farmland, carefully cultivating the crop to ensure a rememberable experience. Each cigar was made with care and dedication, reflecting the pride instilled in our heritage we take in continuing this time-honored craft. It's a part of our heritage and a connection to our roots.
