I have been looking at ordering some of this leaf.
Going through these forums I have read people seem to like it but no one really goes into any detail of the flavor profile.
On the WLT site there is a description of the "B" grade seco, is that an accurate description of the "A" grade viso as well?

Grade is the physical condition of the leaf. 'B' is a bit more tattered than 'A'. Paraguay flojo is likely closely related to Bolivia Criollo Black as well as Venezuela Guácharo. They produce relatively longer, narrower leaf, especially when compared to Habano types. Since I seldom apply food descriptions to tobacco, I can't offer you a tidy flavor profile. I find the flojo generally coarser and less carefully frog-legged than leaf from other production regions. To my taste, it presents an edginess. I think flojo is useful in broadening the flavor profile of a filler blend.
