Eiroa family farms have worked with Bayer for over a decade to apply these standards to everything grown under the family name. After harvest, the tobacco undergoes a slow oxidation process to make certain each leaf is properly cured. This takes between 18 and 24 months to complete, leaving perfectly-aged, consistently flavoured leaves to be sorted into filler, binder and wrapper. These are then transferred to the factory where an elite team of torcedores will tra
