Our Dark Air Cured Tobacco Leaf (LL) is a 2LS grade, which means it is a binder leaf. For wraps and grabba, there is still plenty of leaf to use; but, overall most leaves will have at least one hole making it a binder grade.
Our Dark Air Cured Fronto Leaf (LL) leaves are medium to thick, pliable, easy to handle, and a joy to work with.
Like the name sounds, the Dark Air Cured tobacco leaf has a beautiful color, similar to that of the CT Maduro; but, because this crop has been harvested so recently, it has wonderful red and brown tones, which will darken over time.
Despite this tobacco leaf's thickness and strength, it burns evenly and smooth with a clean ash.
For those who love Dark Air Cured leaves, this leaf is the best value. Usually comprised of aged crops, these leaves have darkened and become more mellow. The only drawback is the minor leaf damages.
"Monique,I read through your instructions, and I thought to myself, "wow, this gal took the time to make sure I would be successful here with these kids". Did I tell you I'm teaching American History and every year a few kids ask me what a tobacco leaf looks like. With permission from parents, I ordered the leaves from you! I will be back year after year.........(you wrote me 6 paragraphs) You ARE awesome!
