Fine cut tabacco


The Netherlands and fine-cut tobacco

Although tobacco has never been grown on a large scale in the Netherlands the product is associated with the country as much as tulips and clogs. While windmills and dikes seem to represent some foreigners' idea of the Netherlands, over the centuries the country has also built up an enormous reputation for processing raw tobacco into high quality tobacco products. 'Imported from Holland' is a familiar sign throughout the world and at the same time a guarantee of quality.
