Brazilian Flue Cured (BFL)

Total Leaf Supply is proud to offer a superior selection of Brazilian Flue Cured (BFL) tobacco, expertly harvested to deliver optimal body and color.

These leaves are specifically drawn from the middle to upper portion of the tobacco stalk, resulting in a heavier body than is typical for many other grades. Visually, they present a beautiful spectrum from bright lemon to deep orange-yellow, and are prized for their clean presentation, demonstrating minimal defects or ground damage. This exceptional quality makes BFL an ideal choice for high-end blending where robust texture and visual appeal are essential.

Brazil is globally recognized as a powerhouse in the tobacco industry, consistently ranking as one of the world's largest producers and the leading exporter of leaf tobacco. Flue-Cured Virginia (FCV) is the dominant type grown, accounting for approximately 85% of the country's total production. Cultivation is concentrated in the southern states of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, and Paraná, largely involving small-scale family farmers operating within an Integrated Production System (IPS) that emphasizes quality control and adherence to good agricultural practices.
