Hello! we are Bem Bolado Group

Our journey began in 2012 with the creation of Bem Bolado Brasil. With a Brazilian way to do things, the brand has been conquering heads and hearts through its creative and unique branding, which characterizes all brands in our group. Thanks to our determination, today we are proud to be present throughout the national territory as a leading brand in tobacco products and consumer goods.

Through the bold decision to expand horizons, we launched the Original Tabaco brand in 2020, which brought our genuinely Brazilian DNA to the organic tobacco market. In 2022, inspired by Street and Surf wear, we decided to launch the fashion line Weed Wear, which expresses our belief in the future through hemp and sustainable resources in fashion.

At the end of 2023, we acquired the lighter company GTI and consolidated ourselves as a group. Our desire is to bring the best possible experience to our audience, with all the diversity and creativity of our line-up. We started with four visionary minds who believed in the potential for innovation, branding, and creativity of the Brazilian market, and today we aim to expand and impact the whole world with good ideas.
