The Brazilian Arapiraca Filler leaf is darker in color than the Cubra Seco, yet carries a similar thickness. This leaf is grown in the Arapiraca region of Brazil and provides a distinct Brazilian flavor to accompany the wrappers from the same region.
We offer a wide variety of fillers, binders, and wrappers for making your own cigars - be sure to try them all to create some of the best personal cigars you've ever had! These leaves come in whole leaf bundled form.
The Brazilian Arapiraca Filler was first introduced at Leaf Only in December of 2017. It is the same shape and size as the Arapiraca Wrapper, but of a lower grade. This leaf is reminiscent of its other Brazilian cousins, but carries a slightly stronger scent, and a deeper brown in the leaf. Although it is grown in the same climate, this leaf, while similar, is still very unique from the other Brazilian tobacco leaves.
"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. "
