Cut one open. Leaves about 18" long, 8" wide, smooth, consistent, & soft. I'd be surprised if you didn't find more than half of these would make good binders. Smells wholesome and mild, like a tobacco barn in August. I'll whip up a nearly puro quickie this evening, this Dom seco filler, Dom binder, nicely transparent CT wrapper to left the flavor come thru, & step out to burn it on the porch. I've just enough Hornblower and the Atropos left to read, to give this gar a test run. I have high hopes, from the snurf of it. Maybe I can get R2knee2 to mix me up an ice cold mule.
