2012 crop year, Grown in Paraguay, this cigar filler is somewhat rare. The long leaf gives it its name…flojo or “flagging” leaf. This leaf is a medium dark brown. The flavor is nutty, chocolate and coffee with notes of cinnamon. The smoke is thick, medium bodied, and smooth. This is a flavorful tobacco with a pleasant aroma with hints of cherry and currents.
Paraguay Flojo is naturally a longer, narrower leaf than many other filler varieties. Unlike many varieties, this leaf is not packed flat, and presents a somewhat ragged appearance. But expect a uniquely delicious cigar filler.
As with all Whole Leaf Tobacco products, the leaf is packaged in vapor-proof bags and in perfect order for working when it arrives to you. The leaf will remain is perfect condition for at least a year if unopened. Once opened, any unused leaf can be saved in this condition by re-using the packaging. Simply fold the opened end and sealing it with tape.
All of our tobacco is sold by the pound. The price reflects the cost per pound of tobacco unless otherwise noted.

This leaf is the classic example of an ugly duckling turning into a beautiful swan. Yes, it is not pretty to look at, but it’s a filler tobacco – it doesn’t need to be. However, the smooth, even burn and great flavor ensures that it’s always a part of my orders. I get many complements on my cigars that include this in the blend.

Flavor profile is exactly as described without the slightest hint of harshness! I tried one with nothing but this tobacco and it was very mild but loaded with flavor and a bit creamy!
