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.
"First of all let me say thank you for providing a great service! All my orders have been packed well and shipped in a timely manner. I bought the starter kit w/ DVD which was very helpful, than upgraded to buying some more lbs of PA cigar tobacco for rolling fun.
As part of a cigar club i belong too, I had the opportunity to present my hand rolled cigars and give a demonstration to the club members. It was a resounding success and I've recommended to them all - buy the starter kit! It's loads of fun.
I got very positive results when I gave out the cigars and gave a presentation on it. People come back asking to take seconds! I'm all out of cigars - better get back to rolling!
