Upholding An Award-Winning Leadership Position In The Cut Tobacco Business

Tobacco is cut into thin shreds, in preparation for manufacturing of tobacco products, and undergoes conditioning by exposure to high temperatures and humidity. This restores suitable levels of moisture to facilitate easy cutting of the leaf, and tobacco is blended to give it a distinctive flavor.

BBM has made a mark for itself in the international cut tobacco industry. The Bommidala Group started the cut tobacco business in 1998 and offers a premium selection of cut tobacco blends - American, Virginia and Oriental. The Group has a capacity of more than 10,000 tons per annum.

Roll-Your-Own Tobacco

Roll-your-own or make-your-own tobacco, is the oldest form of tobacco for smoking, pre-dating the use of the earliest pipes, and before the first machine- made cigarettes were manufactured.

Roll-your-own tobacco is popular to this day in several countries where smokers continue to favor Fine Cut cigarettes for its cost-effectiveness or by people who actually enjoy the ritual of making their own cigarettes.

BBM's RYO markets are focused in the Duty Free and Duty Paid regions in Asia and Europe.
