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.
"Monique, You're the one I talked to when I was looking into the shredder. You might remember a guy who asked one heck of a lot of questions about it a month or so ago. Just want to say thank you for all your help, and we couldn't be happier with the investment. My wife has trouble using her hands, couldn't use the hand shredder, and now she can make cigarettes without my help. I sure appreciate all of the information you gave me to help me make my decision."
