Description
The 2022 crop is in and the grade can best be described as a combination of Lemon and Bright. This lemon-flavored tobacco is the same as the Flue Cured Virginia Lemon and Bright whole leaf, except it has been threshed. This product is high in sugar (22%) and moderate in nicotine (1.6%), offering excellent flavor with minimal effort—no blending or casing needed.
The Whole Leaf Tobacco threshing process is done mechanically, so you will find remnants of the mid-rib mixed in. Pieces average about 1"x4", with some larger and smaller pieces. To further process this flue-cured tobacco, a mechanical shredder is required—such as our heavy duty shredder. According to federal law, this product must be sold in quantities of 10 lbs. 1 oz. or more. We offer these threshed tobacco leaves in 5 kilo (11+lbs.) bags.
