Candela Leaf is an incredibly rare tobacco leaf, known primarily for its looks! The green color of this leaf is obtained by quickly harvesting, and speed-drying the crop at a high temperature.
The verdant green hue of this tobacco is most commonly associated with its mild, leafy, almost floral taste and sweet, grassy aroma. This wrapper is truly unique in all aspects.
Description
This high temperature, high speed drying process causes the chlorophyll to be trapped in the leaf, giving it the jade color which it is known for. Commonly used on pre-embargo cigars, this leaf is now only commonly found on mass produced machine-made cigars, and some few select high end boutique cigars.
What People Are Saying About Leaf Only
"I am a new customer of Leaf Only and my first experience has been wonderful. I placed my order over the phone and spoke to Rich. He was very helpful and pleasant to speak with. We discussed my plans for the leaves -- I am an E-liquid maker-- and he gave me some very helpful suggestions for my future orders. My leaves arrived very quickly in the mail and I could smell the lovely aroma of tobacco before I even opened the box. The leaves were packed well individually wrapped and flat packed. I ordered the Organic American Flue Cure, Brightleaf Sweet, Nicaraguan Aged Seco long leaf, Dark Fire Cured, and Yendije Oriental. I was very impressed with the texture and highly aromatic nature of the leaves. These leaves will work well for my extraction purposes for e-liquid. I am looking forward to running my first tests with these leaves and when I am in need of more tobacco leaves, I will be shopping with Leaf Only from now on. Thank you very much for all your help "
