A black and white film produced and released by Sampaguita Pictures, a radio adaptation of the film was serialized over DZRH Sampaguita Radio Program and also, it launched the career of Tita de Villa. It was theatrically released on July 4, 1954.

In 2021, the film was digitally restored and remastered by the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP).

Olive La Torre directed Gloria Romero as a spirited, cigar-chomping country girl who rolls tobacco leaves into cigars for a living. Romero is a wonderful comedian, combining as she does a stately beauty and aristocratic nose with eyes that slant just (and maddeningly) so, plus a sense of humor game enough to undercut her impeccable poise; Dolphy does well in a supporting role as comic sidekick with an insatiable appetite. The film, set in the tobacco-growing lands of the Ilocos region, is also a lengthy advertisement on the many pleasures of smoking, with seemingly everyone onscreen from the loftiest haciendero to the lowliest tobacco roller casually lighting up fearsome-looking cigars made from uncut tobacco leaf; one character actually suffers asthma attacks if he can't get his regular nicotine fix, from the tightly rolled cigars that only Romero knows how to make.
