Missing from the selection at WLT. One of the three major components of a cigar. Volado. Having said that...let me ask... of all the videos on you tube how many professional rollers are using three components of leaves one of which is Volado? Maybe all of them.
Volado, seco, ligero. The three horseman. In the video posted by rainmax of the Cuban woman she is using Volado for combustion. A very mild leaf that burns well. It's also very good for smoothing out a cigar since it's so mild.
The problem may be is the way it's perceived. Everyone is searching for the next full flavored tobacco and Volado is BORING. All it does is burn well and it's not very flavorful and therefore may be viewed as not a very important component.
It may be hard to sell if people don't understand it's a vital ingredient to put in a cigar.
How come no one ever asks for it or talks about it? Doesn't anyone use it? It should be in almost every cigar.
