Leaf Reviews

@webmost sent me a big box of Olor Ligero, he didn't like it, not one bit. so I rolled up 10 coronas with an otherwise mild blend to see what nonsense I'd gotten myself into. It's odd. Rich, caramel, but no sweetness. Very little pepper. This is not the blend for this tobacco, but I figured that when I rolled them.

There's probably a blend for this tobacco - I'll see if I can find it.

Old FX CT... i think? I agree, dark, but that's what webby's bag said! We'll wait for his response

Are you sure that's FX CT? Looks very dark.

They also do a dark Broadleaf.

The CT would be light in color, small in size, and super-delicate-thin.
I do have a fondness for lagniappe. But any 13th doughnut would be in its own separate bag. Nor would I remember what leaf it was.

Basically, I dunno.

I agree, these are eminently usable leaf.

Does anyone remember what varietal the WLT Ec Maduro allegedly is? I'm sure it's been asked over there, I just can't find it. Description says Cuban seed, so that rules out CBL. It does not seem super Habano-y nor Corojo-y, so my best guess would be Criollo98. It seems more like CBL, tho.... I don't know what it tastes like because the pound I had 3.5 years ago never combusted. It just sort of melted into bubbling black tire rubber-smelling stuff.

[edit: n/m, I found a thread where I asked Don this same question and he answered that he'd been told by the supplier that it's Habano:
