In a corner of Nicaragua, where verdant valleys and fertile soil intertwine, an exceptional woman named Victoria was born. She would become a living symbol of resilience for the oldest Nicaraguan family in our country's tobacco industry, the humble beginning of this story known as La Malinche.

Victoria, with her deep-rooted humility and gratitude, devoted her life tirelessly to the care and development of tobacco seeds. With each sprout that emerged from the earth, Victoria saw the potential for a bright future, and she gardened this story one seed at a time.
