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.
"Way cool videos dudes!!! Love you guys! Love your product! Your tobacco has given me a healthier smoke and saved me tons of money. Another great thing about your company is that you sell in the 1/4 lb. amount (which is so helpful when you are experimenting) and the other internet companies that I originally looked at did not. And, you can buy any of a huge variety at this quantity. You guys have found a great niche. I have all kinds of good things to say about your company, your product, and your staff!! I want everyone to see the light and taste what "real smoke" should taste like!!!!!! It is an extremely satisfying experience. "
