Aged Ecuadorian Ligero Filler

Description

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).

What People Are Saying About Leaf Only

"The dark fire cured remains a winner, but a little goes a long way in my pipe blends. One half leaf rolled with about two big bright leaves and then scissored makes a decent substitute for Three Nuns or Escudo. My favorite so far is your Canadian flue cured shredded and blended with modest amounts of Latakia and Perique. Almost indistinguishable from the former Dunhill London Mixtures and way better than the current musty German or Danish versions now available. A REAL treat is any of your bright leaf products tightly rolled with an UNrolled bit of Gawith and Hoggarth Black Irish Twist and then sliced. Makes a grand substitute for many tobaccos which have just gone away. "
