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.
Description
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.
What People Are Saying About Leaf Only
"I ordered a few pounds of virginia and turkish tobacco from you folks and just processed my first batch. I have to say I am floored by the quality. I've been smoking pipes for more than 20 years now, so I know good tobacco -- and your tobacco is top shelf. I wasn't sure what to expect but not only is your tobacco tasty, it also has a nicotine kick like an angry mule.
I am very impressed. Thank you. I'll be referring my friends to you, and you can be sure I'll be ordering from you in the future.
