Ecuadorian Binder

Description

The Ecuadorian Binder Tobacco Leaf is known to be a thinner, milder leaf, and is derrived from its beautiful wrapper leaf cousin grown on the same plant. 

These leaves are much larger than they look in the picture. It's just that the hands are fanned out, so it creates the illusion of smaller bundles. These leaves arrive tied in traditional hands and should be processed just like all tobacco leaf binders. It is grown from the Habano 2000 seed. Just keep in mind that shade grown wrapper tobacco is usually much more fragile than sun grown wrapper tobacco (think Maduros and Oscuros) and requires a bit of finesse.

What People Are Saying About Leaf Only

"I am really impressed with the quality, freshness, and varieties available to me through Leafonly.com. Not only am I smoking less daily as a result of a better choice for my habit. I am enjoying blending, processing, and smoking my final result. Like a fine wine, brandy, or cognac that is precisely how I would describe my tobacco. Canadian organic flue cured to The robust St James Perique. I Went from two packs a day American Spirits to ten of my "designer" cigs. I am using a recycled pasta cutter. The spaghetti cutter is working great to process the leaves, the moisture content of the leaves upon arrival was perfect, I guess around 18%. Cut, gentle toss and its perfect for smoke. I even rolled a few cigarillos with my blend using the St James Perique as a wrapper. Successfully! Thank you, I do look forward to trying more variety as time goes on. "
