Types of Air Cured Tobacco
Glasgow Magistrate Fronto Leaf
As one of our signature fronto leaves, Glasgow Magistrate Wrapper features thin veins and a smooth, versatile aroma. This gorgeous leaf boasts nice oil and stretch, making it one of the best wrappers available.
Organic Burley
Light colored and sporting a low sugar content, Organic Burley has a nutty flavor and developed aroma and is a great option if you plan to blend with other tobaccos.
French Burley Wrapper
This tobacco boasts a light body and more mellow flavor from thin leaves free from many common defects. Like Organic Burley, it blends very well with other leaves and has low sugar content.
Oriental Basma
Sweet and spicy, these golden leaves are grown in Greece and have a high oil content. They are smaller in size, but have a heavier body and are pulled one at a time to dry in the sun.
Maryland 88 DAC
Often used as wrappers for cigars, our Maryland 88 dark air cured usually provides many more leaves per pound than other options, as they are light and may contain some defects.
