Has anyone tried WLT's Bezuki wrapper yet?
Bezuki is the most durable, stretchable wrapper I have worked with. It adds very little to the flavor of a cigar, but is a superbly forgiving wrapper.

Bob, you're far more of an expert on cigars than I'll ever be, but I really liked the flavor of the Bezuki. Not to say you didn't, but I did think it added a lot to a cigar.Bezuki is the most durable, stretchable wrapper I have worked with.

My general impression of the dozen or so different Indonesian wrapper varieties that I sampled (and smoked as puros) was that their flavors were fairly subtle, when compared to Habano varieties, and even Sumatra varieties adapted to other regions (FL Sumatra, Ecuador Sumatra, Cameroon). I do like the taste of Bezuki, more so than CT Shade.

I have not grown Cameroon. I have not seen seed for Cameroon. Cameroon wrapper leaf was directly derived from Sumatra Deli leaf.Have you ever grown Cameroon? Just wondering.

I have found that for my beginnings rolling cigars that success with Bezuki wrappers was almost 100%. Almost every leaf provided 2 wrappers comepletely free of any holes.The several lbs. I have used were 2008 aged and fermented if I am not mistaken.
I still have about a quarter lb my self of the 2008 stock that I am saving in my freezer.
Well, I'm sold. I'll definitely be putting in an order this week!
You won't regret it!
