Flue-Cured
Flue-Cured tobacco is dried with in-directed heat from flues or pipes that extend from a furnace into the barn. We source leaves directly from local farmers and are able to hand select them directly out of the barn! Predominantly grown in North Carolina and Virginia, Flue-Cured leaves are bright, and the color varies from golden to deep orange.
Burley
Burley has slightly larger leaves than flue-cured tobacco. Burley tobacco is 'air-cured’ by hanging in an open sided barn for up to eight weeks to allow air to freely circulate. Predominantly grown in Kentucky and Tennessee, Burley leaves are light brown in color.
Cigar Leaf
Cigar Leaf is air-cured tobacco similar to Burley but goes through the extra step of fermentation. The fermentation process develops desired flavors and color. This process can take anywhere from six months to a year. Primarily from the Dominican Republic, where they are specifically grown as "wrapper" leaves, Cigar Leaf vary in color from dark brown to umber.
Dark Fired
Dark Fired Burley is hung in an enclosed barn and cured with open fires built on the floor. This curing method takes up to 7 weeks and gives the leaves their distinct color. This US crop is mostly grown in Kentucky and Tennessee. Dark Fired tobacco has very large leaves which have a dark, rich mahogany color.
