Hey Lightnin', make sure you write over those labels with a sharpie or something. Haven't rolled in a while, so, last week I decided to roll some cigars. While going through my stash I found several bags with faded labels. Some I could just barely make out and some I couldn't read at all. I now have three bags of mystery tobacco. I think if I go back and look through my invoices I can figure them out but it's kind of a pain.

Has happened to me too often

Sorry. Here’s the list. Love the Connecticut Broadleaf and Ecuador Corojo wrappe.

Haven't tried that Broadleaf in about seven years. Might be time to hit a 1/4lb and see how it works on my Backwoods-style cigarillos, seeing as that's what they use.

I bet it would be good. Has a raisin like sweetness I really enjoy. It’s out of stock more than not.

Raisin like when it's burning, or unlit?

More unlit. Maybe it’s in my head now that I think about it. It does have sweetness when burning but it might be more my brain telling my tastes what to expect.

I’ll agree that the LO CT BL Wrapper has a pretty raisiny aroma. Smoking not as much outside of what you smell off the wrapper. I also agree with you [mention]lightnin93 [/mention] there is a sweetness on the smoke, but definitely can amp up the longer it burns.

Okay. Raisin smell is the classic "this leaf ain't adequately fermented" aroma. Usually means the stuff tastes pretty bad when it's burning.

I thought this as well when I first worked with it. I’m not sure about smoking one fresh off the table. I try to allow for 2 months of rest time after being wrapped and the ones I rolled up turned out tasty. I have a review that a buddy sent me who tried all CT BL wrapped sticks if your interested in reading [mention]blisscigarco [/mention]

Sure. Hit me.

Sent as pm on other forum, since I had a few pics to include and some blend details.

I've smelt plenty of air cured PA BL, both in the barn and on the machine. No raisin snurf there. Can't see why it would need fermented.

First order in a loooong time. Took a gamble that the EC Habano binder would have a good deal of wrapper quality leaf and am thinking that was still a safe bet. I’m a sucker for candela and I’m eager to see if this stuff performs like the stuff I used to get there.

Exciting! Can't wait to see what you roll. No preshuh!

Don at WLT always going above and beyond. Some nice unexpected “bag candy”. At the rate I’m rolling this stuff won’t be around long. Curious about the sample leaf and wish I had a little more to try a few things with it

Wonder if that Cameroon's any good.

I’ve been diggin the LO Cameroon wrapper & binder myself as of late. The binder has been the secret in some blends. A recent blend that hit:

W: CT BL
B: Double Cameroon
F: 1x Nica. Estelí Ligero
1x Mex S.A. Viso
1x Dom Criollo ‘98 Viso
1x Nica. Estelí Seco

Made a damn fine 50 rng.

If that Nic CT wrapper is like the old Nic CT binder, I didn't like it when I got it but loved it later. Made some sort of Nicaraguan puro that came out like candy it was so sweet...it was crazy.
