CT Havana Primed Ungraded Leaf
Wholesale Pricing is Available For This Tobacco Item. Click Here For More Information!$29.99 / lb
The Havana Primed Tobacco Leaf is a popular, light colored delicate leaf. With CT Grown Havana tobacco being such a unique, yet affordable leaf, it's no wonder customers choose this leaf to make their cigars one of a kind.
These CT Havana tobacco leaves are NOT graded. So in each bundle you will likley find leaves for wrapper, binder, and filler or any combination thereof.
Description
Light colored smooth tan, and good shine, large leaf, slim in cross section. Strong aroma with earthy tones and spicy top note. Relatively easy to work with, and absorbs moisture at a moderate pace.
As filler it was tasty and strong, needs to be mated with any other leaf to really shine through. As binder, using this leaf as binder is a crime of passion. One should not use such fine leaf to bind, but you can help it. Any combination of tobaccos seem to get along with this leaf as a binder, as it adds a distinct base note. As wrapper , this is where this leaf belongs, its aroma and taste build a slightly spicy top note that never grows overwhelming even in a big ring gauge.
This leaf is technically the same variety as the Havana 7, but the difference is that it is "primed", which means it is picked as it grows rather than as a whole plant at the end of the season.
What People Are Saying About Leaf Only
"Leaf only has been nothing but a pleasure to work with. They offer extremely prompt service and have a very reliable staff. They go above ones expectations when it comes to advice not only on what to purchase, but on how to take care of your purchased products (leaf). If you Have the pleasure of dealing With Ms. Monique Hughes, you are definitely in good hands. Apart from the great staff (something most places are lacking nowadays) Leaf only has some of the best tobacco I've ever smoked. Friends and family have asked where I purchased the cigars, only to remain with their jaw slack, when I told them they were personally rolled. The taste is great and the price is unbeatable. Of course you will need to try different blends to find something you like, but if I could recommend at least one type of wrapper, it would be the ct shade leaf wrapper. Amazing colour and great taste! Don't let the price tag scare you though, the amount of wrappers you get per package is well worth the money (over 100 leaves per pound). I cannot recommend this site enough, 10 stars out of 5 every step of the way, Thanks Leaf Only !! "
