Approximate Leaves Per Pound: 18
$23.99 / lb
The Fronto / Dark Air Cured (W1) is a dark, thick, air cured tobacco leaf. The W1 Grade name signifies that it was grown in Tennessee, USA. This leaf is very large, and carries a chocolate brown color, that will only darken with age. This leaf is commonly larger in size, but it can vary in color more than other American grown Dark Air Cured. Although it does come tied in bundles, or 'Hands', due to its large size, it is to be expected that there will be slightly more damages than other bundled D.A.C. leaf.
Leaf preference varies from location to location, so it is always recommended that you try a selection of a few different leaves, to see which you, or your customers, prefer most! Each type of leaf has 1/4lb sample sizes available.

What People Are Saying About Leaf Only
"Now that the dust is settling I wanted to take the time and thank you for your generous donation to my brother-in-law Gary Thompsons Memorial golf tournament held June 22nd. It's local businesses such as yourself that truly help bring this tournament together. This was the 6th annual Memorial Tournament for Gary and we are now doing a scholarship in his name at Middletown High School. On behalf of the Thompson, Shukis family we thank you very much. I'm glad I found your place this past winter when I saw a little sign on Washington Street. Your staff have always been very helpful I should let you know, especially Calvin who has taken the time and gone out of his way to help me out whenever I'm at the store as I am definitely not a cigar connoisseur by any means. Look forward to seeing you again in person and thanking you personally. Take care. "
