HANDCRAFTED TOBACCO LEAF SURFACES
HANDCRAFTED TOBACCO LEAF SURFACES
ARTISAN LEAF has taken this unique leaf, and applied it to make one-of-a-kind Tables, Bars, Panels, and Decorative Accessories. The Tobacco Leaves are encapsulated in 2-part epoxy resin to protect them and showcase their beauty.
Tobacco leaves change from year to year, from farm to farm, and so many other variables.
Each leaf has its own unique characteristics and a certain je ne sais quoi, as no two leaves are alike. It's akin to making moonshine in that family tobacco curing recipes are passed down.
It's akin to making wine in that some years the crop is better than others.
Our 'Current' Tobacco: Flue-Cured, Burley, Cigar Leaf, and Dark Fired Burley.
(Leaf selection does continuously change due to aesthetics and availability)
ARTISAN LEAF is based out of Wilson, North Carolina - The World's Greatest Tobacco Market.
Flue-Cured tobacco is where it all started for ARTISAN LEAF.
This leaf is dried with heat directed 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!
Flue-Cured leaves are bright and the color varies from golden to deep orange.
Burley is a larger plant than the flue-cured tobacco and it's 'air-cured’ by hanging in structures with a roof, but with open sides to allow air to freely circulate. Predominantly grown in Kentucky and Tennessee.
Burley leaves are light brown in color.
Cigar Leaf is a fire-cured tobacco (small fires are built on the floor of enclosed barns). Primarily from the Dominican Republic, where they are specifically grown as "wrapper" leaves. They are the most standardized ARTISAN LEAF, in terms of size, shape and color.
Cigar Leaf vary in color from dark brown to umber.
Dark Fired Burley is a larger plant and it's 'fire-cured’. Small fires are built on the floor of enclosed barns. This US crop is mostly grown in Kentucky and Tennessee. Usually very large leaves, our Dark Fired tobacco is a dark, rich mahogany color.
