Ecuador produces quantities of high quality tobacco, both filler and wrapper, shade and sun grown. Growers there have been using both Connecticut and Sumatra seed varieties. In each case, the tobacco usually seems milder and less robust in strength and flavor than the originals. Its wrapper colors fall between Connecticut and Cameroon, and its silky texture has visual appeal.

Coffees from Ecuador are medium-bodied, fairly acidy, and have a flavor that is straightforward at best. Ecuadorian coffee typifies Central and South American coffees.
