Does anyone know if the Ecuadorian Habano wrapper at Leaf Only is the same variety as the Ecuadorian maduro WLT had? Never got to try the stuff from WLT but it sounds like a tasty wrapper.

@Leaf Only John might be able to help there.

I'm not sure if he'd know since the other leaf is from a different vendor and hasn't been available for a little while now. But if he's got answers I won't complain lol.

Hey guys - you're right, I don't know for SURE, but based on the picture and his description, it looks to be similar if not the same. Specifically the MIDDLE leaf of his picture looks just like our Ecuadorian Ligero (https://www.leafonly.com/tobacco-lea...o-leaf-wrapper), but the other two look more like Connecticut broadleaf. Hard to know if it's EXACTLY the same, but if it isn't, it's got to be VERY close.

Hope that helps!

@LeafOnlyJohn has the Nicaraguan Ligero always been Criollo 98? I have some Nica ligero and viso I got from you ~6 months ago and have thought it was Nicaraguan Habano for some reason.

Edit - I think I found my answer. Im smelling the Nica ligero and the criollo 98 ligero I have side by side right now and they are nothing alike at all. I know leaf changes farm to farm and country to country but these don't have any similarities I can't imagine them being the same strain of tobacco.

I haven't rolled any for quite a while, but it's definitely something I enjoy.

My goal is to home-roll the bulk of my NC consumption, and spend the money I save to upscale my imaginary purchases.

It was when you got into this that I knew it was something we needed to highlight and support. You were very much on my mind when I built this subforum. I have no doubt that what you're rolling is probably every bit as good as what can be had off the shelf. I can imagine that the enjoyment derived from the simply "doing" of it can be as enticing as the hobby itself.

Good to see you back, Mike

@Herf N Turf I gotta send you a sample of the new blend Ive been rolling. I think a lot about the stick I sent you and honestly kind of feel bad now knowing how it doesn't even compare. I feel like its a wrong I have to right lol.

Nothing wrong on my end, Cole. It's all good.

Finally getting around to trying some new wrappers out. Got leaf coming up to case for tomorrow... will wrap in Ecuadorian Habano 2000, San Andreas, and Criollo 98.

I got to wrapping with the Ecuadorian Habano ligero yesterday. Doesn't feel like it has a lot of stretch but its a lot easier to work with than broadleaf. Texture and thickness reminds me of a nice leaf of WLT Dominican binder. Will smoke my first sample either later tonight or some point this weekend and update with some tasting notes. @GDaddy I know you were interested in this wrapper. I think it was pretty easy to work with and won't have any issue burning. The criollo 98 ligero is definitely thicker.
