[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 290038, member: 1969"] I had a few cigars dry out really fast and split, and I cut it all up and saved the leaf. Mixed it with some straight Burley, about 50/50, and about threw up. Nasty sh*t. It wasn't until I learned that cigar leaf is better left as a "spice" tobacco, no more than 20% of the total (I gathered, anyway). Once in a while I'll mix up some lackluster tins with about 10%, maybe a dash of Latakia, just to not waste my leaf. Cigar leaf can, the right leaf in the right amount, give a great mouth feel and very subtle flavor. Other than that, I'm not Greg Pease, so a stellar hand with cigar leaf I do not have. 8) [/QUOTE]
