Our Medium CT broadleaf is quite popular, darker than expected, and much more like our 1DW Maduro in texture, but just slightly thinner and much larger.
If you are looking for a Maduro and don't mind a larger leaf, this is the right tobacco leaf for you. Moderate vein size but they roll out easily.
The MED Connecticut Broad Leaf Wrapper is taken from the middle of the CT broadleaf plant, so as expected, it's profile is right in between the CT 1LS and the CT 1DW Maduro.
Every year, containers of this leaf, as well as other premium wrapper grades such as the 1LS and Maduro are shipped to premium cigar manufacturers in the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. Many name-brand cigars use this leaf regularly, and for good reason! It's large, easy to work with, and grown in CONNECTICUT!
"I am really impressed with the quality, freshness, and varieties available to me through Leafonly.com. Not only am I smoking less daily as a result of a better choice for my habit. I am enjoying blending, processing, and smoking my final result. Like a fine wine, brandy, or cognac that is precisely how I would describe my tobacco. Canadian organic flue cured to The robust St James Perique. I Went from two packs a day American Spirits to ten of my "designer" cigs. I am using a recycled pasta cutter. The spaghetti cutter is working great to process the leaves, the moisture content of the leaves upon arrival was perfect, I guess around 18%. Cut, gentle toss and its perfect for smoke. I even rolled a few cigarillos with my blend using the St James Perique as a wrapper. Successfully! Thank you, I do look forward to trying more variety as time goes on.
