Our Aged Ecuadorian Filler Leaves are large and easy to work with, and pair wonderfully with their wrapper quality counterpart.
Our Aged Ecuadorian Filler Leaves are known to be a thinner, milder leaf, and is revered as a flavorful filler in the cigar manufacturing industry.
These leaves are much larger than they look in the picture. This tobacco is grown from the Habano 2000 seed, much like it's wrapper quality counterpart. Just keep in mind that shade grown tobacco is usually much more fragile that sun grown wrappers (think Maduros and Oscuros) and requires a bit of finesse.
One of the most interesting tidbits about this leaf is that it is said to be "cloud grown". From what we understand, the region they are grown has almost constant cloud coverage (being in the mountainous foothills of Ecuador).
"I recently purchased the American Turkish combo and am very pleased with not only how quickly the shipment arrived but also the quality of the leaf that arrived on my door step. This is the first time I have purchased from your company and will do so in the future. "
