Makla chewing tobacco

Makla is a traditional smokeless tobacco brand originally rooted in North African traditions but industrialized and based in Belgium. It is categorized as 'tabaco de mascar' (chewing tobacco) for the Spanish market to comply with regulatory standards. The product is known for its distinct moist consistency and is traditionally placed under the lip rather than being chewed like American-style tobacco.

The brand is manufactured exclusively by Sifaco (Société Industrielle des Tabacs et de Confiserie), a Belgian company that has maintained the traditional recipe since its founding. Ownership remains under Sifaco, which manages global distribution from its headquarters in Brussels, Belgium. The packaging shown features Spanish tax stamps and health warnings, indicating it is specifically packaged for the Spanish market.
