Total Leaf Supply order. Putting in the freezer for a couple days before trying out. Nice that they realized their Cameroon was not up to wrapper quality - I wouldn't have been happy with it. View attachment 110310 View attachment 110312

Nice touch.

That was a quick order fulfillment from WLT. Ordered Friday and delivered Monday.
Looking forward to trying the Perique - ordered some from LO last Tuesday and received shipping notice Friday but tracking # is not in USPS system yet.

He must have just gotten in a shipment. Last time I ordered he didn't have the Nica habano seco.

These blurry low-rez photos with impossible-to-read labels that are all the rage now are such teases! I'll have to join the trend.

I'm eager to know what you guys think of the burn and flavor of the "new" wrapper

Have you noticed that LO has quite a bit of leaf that is out of stock?
I hope that's not an indicator of concern in the home-roll tobacco supply chain.

That could be a top contender for this week's unreadable labels contest. Nice!

This was the best of three free sample leaves of MF binder. I think it's a good thing WLT hasn't listed this item yet as I don't feel it's ready for prime time. I'm gonna give it a go as filler. Its smell is redolent of MSA, that kinda plasticy rubbery charcoaly MSA thing.

I really hope that is not the case, tho it could be good temporarily, as that means the hobby is growing. Plus if they make more money and sell more, it would give them the purchasing power to get more types of leave hopefully

That looks to wide for mata fina leaf.

Do you think he got sold a bill of goods, and this is really MSA? One might request such sample to evaluate.

Mata Fina tobaccos don't take to being sown outside Bahia. they grow large to say the least.

Interesting. Would they still be called mata fina, or should the name change being grown in another region? I wonder how it would compare...

It should read mata fina seed followed by region of growth. sound familiar? All it takes is one generation to change. Connecticut tobacco originated from another region. Some seed transplants well, Bahia tobaccos, not so much.
