Our CT Broadleaf cigar binder is basically just Connecticut's grade for binder. It has a popular light tone, with a beautiful tan brown on the outside of the wrapper. The leaf is soft and darker on the inner side.
Grown on the Connecticut Broadleaf Plant, the binder grade are leaves that are not quite wrapper, but still plenty good enough to be binder. Sometimes even wrapper leaves can be found in the mix!
This leaf has a light tone with a beautiful tan brown on the outside of the tobacco. CT tobacco sometimes has prominent veins, but they can be rolled down with a rolling pin.
This leaf is one of the first binders we ever offered at Leaf Only, and remains a crowd favorite! Also some of the least expensive Connecticut Broadleaf available!
"Excellent customer service is hard to come by, and for an occasional luxury item it's not worth saving a few bucks and risking dealing with a company that's not friendly and honest. You can forward this message to one of the owners, too, because they should know that the person handling customer service for them is aces."

This is great leaf to work with!...a beautiful color ranging from light tan to a dark reddish brown. I've found leaf suitable for wrapper in amongst this stuff, it makes good wrapper with it's amazing elasticity. There are a few big veins on this large leaf but they're easily rolled out during preparation. I'll happily buy more of this tobacco..
Good binder though it does take extra prep time since it's not flat packed and it tends to be gritty/sandy so I dunk it in a bucket of water while flattening it out to rinse off any dirt particles. It is quite thick and easy to work with, it has very little flavor of its own so it won't over power whatever you want to put inside or around it.
This is really a nice binder leaf. It's smooth, elastic and ready to go once you receive the package. i will purchase more. Strongly recommend it
