Does anyone have any Mata Fina they can spare?
Although I can't get my translator to give me an American equivalent, I believe "Mata Fina" could mean "Fine Mat" or maybe even something along the lines of prized stack of flattened leaf. Either way, it imparts a flavor into a Cigar like no other leaf. It would be nice to have a milder version as well, for filler's sake.
I always keep this in my regular rotation. The next time it comes in, I'd like to stock up a bit
Mata Fina is from Brazil where they speak Portuguese. The literal translation to English of Mata Fina "thin forest". Mata Fina is a southern region in Brazil where the tobacco is grown opposed to Mata Norte which is a tobacco growing region in the north.

As Don points out, Mata Fina is a place, rather than a description of its tobacco.
