Description
Our Flue Cured Virginia Red Leaf is the highest leaf position on the tobacco plant. The result is a heavy bodied (thick) leaf with a more pronounced tobacco flavor. It is known for the darker color it achieves in the curing process, where it is cured slightly hotter than our bright leaf, causing the leaf to darken and produce a more distinct tobacco flavor.
This is a perfect stand alone leaf, but it might need to be blended with a thinner bodied leaf to improve burn quality.
This product is a good choice for creating tobaccos ready for cigarettes, pipes, smokeless varieties and hookah.

This is the perfect leaf to kick your blend up a notch or two. Definitely stronger flavor and almost a nutty taste. It has a unique flavor that isn’t common in your standard VFC. A little goes a long way. 5% or 10% mixed with lemon and a little bit of first priming thin leaf produces an amazing all Virginia tobacco cigarette. Throw a little bit of Burley in the mix to tone the bite down. The quality of the leaf is outstanding. Definitely something I would order again!

I was going to ding this for having some over cured toasty tips in the bunch when stripped. Then I smoked it straight. Holy moses, OUTSTANDING flavor. This is the red I’ve been looking for.
If I could rate this higher, I would. Very highly recommended.

Best tobacco I’ve ever smoked, and I’ve been smoking for 38 years…
It’s all I order now.

Excellent tobacco. It’s stronger than the lighter Virginia tobaccos. It can be smoked on its own, however if you blend it with the lemon you]ll have a wonderful smoking experience.

WLT obviously takes pride in their products and I am stoked I found them!

Nice leaf. Arrived low to medium case, workable as filler. Very sharp, eye wateringly so. Medium body smoke. Definite sipper. Fairly monochromatic with a hint of barnyard. Low key virginia pouch note. Readily absorbs aromas of stronger tobaccos. Have some Va/Per blends this will work perfectly in. Will be buying again.

Great quality, superb aroma, and reliably consistent! I have been buying FCVR Leaf for years and have yet to be disappointed. I blend it with a little Turkish for that Camel Full Flavor. It’s fantastic!

I would swear by this instead of any cigarettes you get at the gas station. It’s fresh smooth , and great taste. The person I talked to was very nice and informative.

Wow my leaf looks a lot better than the picture. It was a bit tough separating the leaves. I am not a huge Virginia fan but want to use it as a pipe blend. The leaf is big and red and exactly as described it will make a great blender.
I know I`m getting a bit repetitive but thanks again.

Wow. Amazing taste. I’ve tried all Virginias from WLT now. This is one of the few Tobaccos I would consider smoking without blending. Great in all aspects, and really needs nothing to help it. Tastes better than a premium Canadian tailor made. Also contributes very nicely to a blend. I see lots of red leaf in my future purchases. Thank you WLT.

I just got this one and Basma.
When your mix it 70 Virginia , 30 Basma you get legendary Camel smoke .
When you mix it 50%Virginia , 50% Basma , you get the Holy smoke :)). Will buy it again. Itching to see what will happen if I add 2%-5% Perique :))

I really like this tobacco. Been trying to find a replacement for the light blue american spirit rolling tobacco and i have a winner. Only problem i have found is it is better than american spirit so it makes me wonder why i have wasted so much time smoking crap when i could have had this. So far i have just shredded and rolled and it doesn’t need anything else. Tasty !!!!

Always have this these leaves in my house because they are great! If you looking for a very strong smoke these leaves are great, for me I blend with a lighter leaf for the perfect smoke. Great tasting leaves! A++++++

Everything about wholeleaftobacco was perfect on my first order and definitely not the last. The red Virginia was easy to remove the stem and burns well. Alone it’s good. Mixed with Lemon and bright leaf it’s amazing. Makes a typical Canadian cigarette that packs a punch without being harsh.

I originally bought this last year and liked it so much I just bought it again. It was well packaged, arrived fairly quickly. The leaf was in decent condition, was easy to remove the stems. What I love about this tobacco is that once you open the bag it comes in, remove the stems and shred it, and put it back in the bag, the humidity goes down a bit and it becomes very fragrant. A rich, almost creamy tobacco aroma. I mix it with ripe Virginia to add some tobacco flavour. The nicotine content is quite high too so all around very good leaf, a must in all my blends.
