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.
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.
"You guys are awesome! A buddy liked my nicaraguan blend from my last order better than the cuban cohibas he got on his deployment to Guantanamo bay! I smoked 3 myself after they were only 2 days old and people are wanting them about as fast as i can roll them! In the process of writing an article for a pretty highly viewed website about the journey of starting to roll cigars from home. We are mentioning your website as the supplier for all of our tobacco and tools. Thanks for everything! I'm a leaf only lifer! Thanks for being awesome!"
