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.
"I received my whole leaf yesterday and I ordered the sweet flue cured combo, every leaf was in pristine condition. It was too moist or too dry. I am very happy with my purchase, it is the best tobacco I have ever smoked. I will be buying from your company from now on. Again, I couldn't be more happier and I would like to thank everyone whole took care of my order. Thank you"
