Description
Latakia is not a unique type of tobacco, but rather the name of the leaf after it has been smoke cured. Starting with a tobacco very similar to our Yenidje, this leaf, grown in Cyprus, is first harvested, and sun dried, before being loaded into smoking barns. They are then smoked, in a manner very similar to our Dark Fire Cured Leaf, although more aromatic smoking woods are used. This gives the leave a very unique smoky floral flavor, which has been noted to have uniquely smooth smoking properties, despite its bold aroma.

What People Are Saying About Leaf Only
"Leaf only has been nothing but a pleasure to work with. They offer extremely prompt service and have a very reliable staff. They go above ones expectations when it comes to advice not only on what to purchase, but on how to take care of your purchased products (leaf). If you Have the pleasure of dealing With Ms. Monique Hughes, you are definitely in good hands. Apart from the great staff (something most places are lacking nowadays) Leaf only has some of the best tobacco I've ever smoked. Friends and family have asked where I purchased the cigars, only to remain with their jaw slack, when I told them they were personally rolled. The taste is great and the price is unbeatable. Of course you will need to try different blends to find something you like, but if I could recommend at least one type of wrapper, it would be the ct shade leaf wrapper. Amazing colour and great taste! Don't let the price tag scare you though, the amount of wrappers you get per package is well worth the money (over 100 leaves per pound). I cannot recommend this site enough, 10 stars out of 5 every step of the way, Thanks Leaf Only !! "
