Skija is a colloquial name for tobacco Ravnjak planted in the wider area of Herzegovina and Dalmatia. Eastern Herzegovina has been the home of this type of tobacco since ancient times, and later the cultivation spread to the western part of this region, as well as to the southern part of Dalmatia known as the Imotski region. Tobacco, which is a real "ski" for smoking, has been produced in the territory of Herzegovina since the 17th century
The famous tobacco of the "Herzegovinian plain" variety has been entered in the international register of names of geographical origin, thus obtaining the protection of authenticity kept by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) based in Geneva.
During the 1990s, tobacco almost disappeared in the Herzegovina area. With the disappearance of cattle, the natural fertilizer, which was necessary for fertilization, to make tobacco good, also disappeared. Cultivation has remained only in some extremely rural areas.
