Our 2LS CT broadleaf has a popular light tone, with a beautiful tan brown on the outside of the wrapper. The leaf is soft and darker on the inner side and thin (in a good way). Used primarily as a binder leaf because of the minor tears in some of the leaves which place this cigar leaf in the "2LS" grade (opposed to 1LS).

- Slightly fragile when moist, but has good elasticity if handled gently. Moisten with a damp towel, or if you spray give it 2 days in a plastic bag to let the moisture even out for best elasticity.
- Mid sized veins at the heel of the leaf but quickly slim down to minute size at mid outer leaf, and point of leaf.
- As a filler: smooth, bold, and strong, but not overwhelming.
- As a binder: moderately elastic. Base note is hardly mossy, but very clear and mild. This is where this leaf excels.
- As a wrapper: wraps clean and smooth. Lighter after wrapping than when in initial state. Clean white ash. Good with a whiskey or ale. Hard to find leaves without minor holes, therefore consider wrapping twice. Now Only $17.99 /LB! |
- Connecticut's 2LS broadleaf is medium in strength of tone, while also dry, but gives off a smooth clean smell when wet (no moss tone to speak of here).
