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.
"Thank you again Monique.You are extremely pleasant to chat with with about the companies products, you knew exactly what could and couldn't be sent here. You went out of your way to get the price for me straight away and were happy to give advice to the best size and types to buy for my first order.
You are a marvel and a credit to the company. I guess that must be your supper power :) I think the contact with you was perfect, so helpful, totally the best customer relations contact I have had in a very long time.
