Arapiraca is a city in the state Alagoas and they are one of the main producers of Tobacco, mainly rope tobacco or “Tabaco de Corda” as it is called in Portuguese, but also cigars. The process is quite different though; cigar Tobacco is dried and cut while the Corda is fermented.

Tabaco de Moy is one of the most beautiful of all Rustica types available. The scent is just divine. Used alone or mixed into ashes this wonderful Mapacho heightens the senses and helps to put the user into a relaxed state of being.

Mapacho is made from Mapacho Masos, Nicotiana rustica, which is about 20 times stronger than our traditional tobacco, Nicotiana tobacum. This powder is made from fermented Mapacho logs.

Rustica, in an extremely fine powder. Mixed with ashes it becomes a powerful but stable Rapé similar to other traditional types produced by the indigenous tribes of South America. Perfect for those wishing to explore the possibilities of blending their own varieties, or to add a rounded and grounding twist to your favourite grey Rapé.
