Long before the arrival of Spanish settlers, the Indians of Costa Rica planted tobacco... and they would barter tobacco in exchange for new things brought in... by the Spanish Explorers. As indicated by the first Spaniards who settled in Cartago, which was the capital of the province... at the time.
Over Volcano Irazu's terracing slopes, native Indian villagers from Churuca traded tobacco and cigars (istepeques), around the region.
They were called Chircagres, (Churuca's inhabitants), and names of tobacco traders... were assimilated to the merchandise that is, domestic tobacco was named "Chircagres".
According to the descriptions, this "Chircagres" tobacco, of the Shaman Indian origin... was the variety of "Nicotiana Rustica": white flowers, round leaves and high nicotine concentration.
It seemed that domestic variety was mixed first and then replaced little by little, by smoother tobacco varieties whose seeds were brought by Spanish and Portuguese people, who traded with Central American colonies.
The almost legendary history reported by historians in 1502,is confirmed by religious writings, that were the real artisans of the development of the tobacco plantations in this region of Costa Rica, which were administratively, part of the Spanish properties in Guatemala at the time. Yet, for more than two centuries, church lands were dedicated to this plant and monks, at first, had monopoly of tobacco trading.More
