KY-15 Wrapper

Our wrapper grade KY-15 tobacco is medium-dark in color with optimal oil and stretch. This natural tobacco leaf comes from Kentucky and is hand sorted after being air cured. Compared to our Glasgow Magistrate variety, these tobacco leaves will be slightly thicker and darker, although smaller, with a mildly stronger smell and taste.

Air cured tobacco is generally cured in open or exposed barns for one to two months at a time. This curing process gives these natural tobacco leaves a distinctive, pleasing aroma. Our KY-15 tobacco is a 'dark air cured tobacco' used in a wide variety of tobacco applications. As with all of our retail sales, these leaves are unbound and separated from each other. If you'd prefer your order to be untouched and bound together in 'hands' by the farmer, we're happy to accommodate you. Just let us know. Large and wholesale orders are shipped in bound 'hands' of tobacco.
