Our Cameroon Binder tobacco leaves are mild, thin, and smooth. This variety is most similar to our Connecticut Shade in appearance and texture, but as with most leaves they have their own unique flavor.
Our Cameroon Binder is known to be a thinner, milder leaf, and is a great component of any cigar line. Light and small, these tobacco leaves are very similar to the Cameroon wrappers but you may find slightly more damages then you would with the Wrapper quality.
Cameroon tobacco is expensive because of supply and demand, but it's exotic and unique flavor makes it worthwhile!
"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. "

Even though this is a binder grade leaf, most of the leaves can be used as wrapper. Also because it is so thin, there are about 3-4 hands in a pound. It has a mild woody, earthy and slightly nutty note. This is a great budget-friendly choice for less pricey wrapper. Very well fermented and appears to be at least 3-4 years old. Smooth and velvety.
