Aganorsa has several large farms in Esteli and the Jalapa Valley. They have over 500 acres of Cuban-seed shade-grown wrapper leaf and 320 acres of sun-grown Habano tobacco, under cultivation in Jalapa, Nicaragua. In nearby Esteli, they grow powerful ligero leaf, on another 150 acres.

Interesting.. thanks
