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 "

WHY I BOUGHT WHOLE LEAF TOBACCO: I normally smoke halfzware imported from the Netherlands (Drum, Van Nelle) but have had difficulty ordering as of late because of Covid's effects on the supply chain. Domestic Drum is disgusting and tastes nothing like the Dutch version. Peter Stokkebye's Amsterdam Shag, a European-made halfzware sold domestically, has recently become unavailable in local stores. So I decided to make my own rolling tobacco for the first time. A SMALL MISUNDERSTANDING: When the package arrived I was surprised and a bit disappointed to find it contained light air cured burley instead of dark fire cured burley. Dutch halfzware is made of brightleaf Virginia and dark-fired Kentucky tobaccos, so this brightleaf and air cured burley combo is not really a halfzware kit. If I had clicked the hyperlinked "burley" in the description I would have realized this in time, but unfortunately I did not. THE LEAVES: That said, I am pleased with the quality of the tobaccos. I first shredded some leaf and rehydrated with ambient moisture in a sealed container. The tobacco was not horrible au naturel but it did not burn quite as nicely or taste as smooth as the European RYO I'm accustomed to. The blend needed casing and I had no experience in the matter so after a bit of research I decided to use a few drops of maple syrup and invert sugar diluted in filtered water with a dash of cream of tartar for the first test run, which went fabulously. Once the casing was absorbed and the tobacco dry enough to smoke, I tried it and found it much smoother and sweeter and more like something you might find in a European smoke shop. I think I will have to order some dark fire cured leaves to make the halfzware I wanted. Hopefully I'll find a use for the light air cured burley.
