Whole Leaves

Available in 3 lbs, 5 lbs, and 12.5 lbs bags. Comes with the mid-rib stem still in, which needs to be removed before shredding, unlike our blended strips.

HOW TO PREPARE YOUR LEAVES

• Make sure you have the right moisture levels: You want to be able to remove the leaf from the mid stem without crumbling the tobacco. Make sure that it isn’t too dry. Once it has been removed, monitor your tobacco to prevent it from drying fully.
• Remove the mid-rib stem and shred: Place your hand on the leaf and pull the stem up and forward, separating it from the main leaf. Repeat for the other side. Once you have several leaves prepared, run them through the shredder. This ensures a good blend of the different flavors between leaves.
