New Virginia Red Leaf is in stock

[FmGrowit]

It has taken a lot of work, but I've finally been able to convince a producer to hand harvest AND cure the leaf the way I wanted it. I have to tell you...this is some dang nice leaf. It's super smooth with tremendous flavor smoked straight. It has a terrific aromatic room note reminiscent of a cased pipe tobacco. While smoking, you'll pick up notes of cherry, licorice and caramel. No casing has been applied to this either.

I've never tasted tobacco like this before. Take advantage of the free shipping too.

Wow, Don, that's pretty. I loved the first batch of red leaf straight up in a pipe and mixed with bright leaf in my cigarette blends. It really added a nice taste. This is better tasting? I can't wait.

 

[FmGrowit]

This is better tasting?

I didn't say anything when we were testing it and one of the guys said "I don't think you can do anything to this to make it better".

It really is that good.

looks like tobacco candy.

Actually, "tobacco candy" is going to be next year's introduction to the tobacco world, but that cat might already be out of the bag

Is this listed as virginia red or is it called something else to differentiate from the last batch? I need to pick up some flue cured soon.

It's listed as Virginia Red Leaf on the old site...haven't listed it on the new site yet. I'm not selling any of the old stuff anymore unless someone really wants it.

Sorry, I don't know the variety name.

This also sounds nice. Guess I gotta have some of this to.

You should have yours tomorrow (USPS)

I think it's better, but taste is a matter of...taste

The one big difference is this new crop is hand harvested, so the leaves are near complete and not the matted mess the mechanically harvested stuff was.

One little trick to this new stuff is to use it in medium-low case. I smoked some that was dry (which you never really want to do with any tobacco) and it was much harsher.

Thanks Don, PayPal sent the tracking number. Your the best. I can hardly wait. Looking forward to the Corojo wrapper as well as the Virginia Light Leaf.

Orders have been sent! Now to wait....

 

[FmGrowit]

Thanks Matty, Your orders will be in the mail before noon tomorrow. Canadian customs has been getting better at processing whole leaf. You should have your tobacco within a week.

 

[Knucklehead]

That's good news for our Canadian members for sure.

That sounds like a great deal Don. A little care with leaf goes a long way when processing. Can't wait till I'm ready make my next order although I'm knee deep in homegrown. Every bodys is different. And quite often better.

I just added some to my shopping cart. I'll be ordering the cigar wrapper and filler samplers for my brother in law's Christmas pretty soon. I'm going to get myself some of this Red Leaf and Corojo wrapper. The Corojo I sampled was awesome, it's right up there with the Maduro as far as my tastes go.
