Stumbled across this site this afternoon while goofing and thought it was very interesting. They have a nice selection of whole leaf tobacco, seeds and accessories. www.leafonly.com/pipe-tobacco-leaf/tobacco-leavesIt looks like it would be a lot of fun to mess around with. I ordered a sample of their St James Perique out of curiousity and thought I'd put it out there for everybody else. |

My preference is wholeleaftobbaco.com but I'm partial as a member of their forum.

I’ve purchased leaf from both places mentioned above. You’ll have some fun and might even create a blend that’s outstanding at a very reasonable out of pocket cost. Have fun 👍👍👍

I get most of my whole leaf from Larry Butcher of Kentucky. He grows many different varieties himself and sells direct. thetobaccobutcher.com/ |

Charlie, I've smoked some Rustica from the Amazon ... they call it Mapacho. It was strong but nothing like the strength of Rustica in snuff form.  |

Those Red Tips are pretty strong! I have bought a couple of pounds of those and they are good for perking up a wimpy blend. Adds body too. He sent me a sample of Yellow Twist Bud but I haven't tried it yet. Is it a burley or a new variety? |

YTB is considered a "white stem" Burley and produces large size leaves that supposedly air-cure easily.

Wondering which tobaccos would be good to start working with. I like the idea they have 1/4 lb samplers of the whole leaf and 1/4 lb of the scraps. Don't know where to start. Any pointers will be appreciated. |

Any pointers will be appreciated. I don't want to start a debate on this ... BUT ... the quality of leaf from WLT is much better, IMHO. Grab some Burley, Virginia and Dark Fired ... good basic components to start with. Around 60% Burley / 30% Va / 10% DFK makes a nice basic Codger smoke. If I can make it to the meeting Wednesday, I'll bring some whole leaf for you and we'll plot on a master blend! |
