This is one of my favorite varieties to use as both the wrapper and binder (two layers) to give a characteristic spiciness to a cigar. It’s also a great leaf to use when first starting out rolling your own cigars as I find it is fairly durable and easy to work with despite it’s thinness, and produces a nice finished look.

Better than advertised, big wide leaf nicely packaged, pristine clean, all pulled so far is wrapper grade and I have used it as wrapper, works very nicely. Low in case out of the pack, but easily fixed with a couple spritzes of distilled water. Thin, strong, and good combustibility. Bring into high case and it’s easy to work with.

I rated this too low in my first review. This clear leaf is thin but surprisingly strong when properly hydrated, and you get a HUGH number of wrappers out of a lb.! Very tasty to boot. Five stars.

Big fan of this binder with lots of wrapper quality mixed in. It is thin but can hold up to being a single binder when in medium high case. Overall a great flat leaf that’s easy to work with, I plan on keeping some on hand at all times.

This leaf smells like green tea when you cut open the bag. It’s super thin and I typically use two when using it as a binder. It’s a very neutral leaf that will allow your blend to truly shine. This leaf can be used as a wrapper as well. Most of my bag is perfect leaf with 0 holes in it. This is a very thin leaf! So, be very careful not to moisten too much when rehydrating especially if using for wrapper.

Love this leaf, very easy to work with. Very thin but surprisingly strong. A favorite of mine as it let’s the flavor of the blend dominate.

I’d agree that a lot could be wrappers. For a newbie, they’re delicate. They will teach you about elasticity and case. Of course I’m still learning… Sort of a funky, spicy, earthy flavor I get from it. If you’ve liked the flavor of Besuki I think this is at least ballpark. Yes. I’d take my time with getting this into case…

Just can’t get enough of this leaf. truly my favorite! I order 3 to 4 lbs each time. leaf quality varies. I use them for my binders, wrappers, and sometimes short filler sticks. the aroma is sweet. you get some spice and light pepper taste. I use this bad boy a lot!

I like this leaf. Excellent as binder as it adds a subtle but pleasant earthy funk to the blend. The leaf I got was super clean as binder with few blemishes, let alone holes. Try under San Andreas wrapper in an all Nicaraguan blend for outstanding results!
