I'll have to score some of that wrapper and give it a try then!

It’s a strong pepper flavor that hits your throat. It’s really thick even for the little Ligero I’ve been able to touch. Hard to roll it up to try on its own. I put a strip of it with a blend and it amped it up. Insane it on LeafOnly and was intrigued.

The Sumatra binder really changed this blend. And for the better. Really enjoying this with the coffee. I’ll be rolling more of these as soon as my binder is up to case
There's certain things where Indo leaf just adds that just something... and with everything else it sucks.
The stuff I’m working with now came from Jochy Blanco

from the center, San Vicente Ligero , T-13, Corojo 99 Viso, Criollo 98 Viso fillers. 3 lamina with 2 veins from PA and Vuelta Abajo binders with Criollo 98, WLT San Andres and Jalapa Rosado Wrappers.

You mention "2 veins". Is that something you thought of or it also done by other cigar makers?
If can chose both answers, I will. Does that make sense.
I does. So I'll ask a followup. Is anyone familiar with a commercial cigar that adds veins? I've seen some significant veins the odd time but I assume they were mistakes by the roller.

I'd ask which veins he's talking about. I never took it for center vein; rather that he's describing a slice of leaf with three lamina sections and 2 cross veins. Something that would equate to about 1/3 of one half of a leaf.
Alright. we have veins and we have mid-ribs or stems.
All cigars have veins, most cigars have mid-ribs to a degree.
We even have one where the filler is all vein/mid-rib/stem though it does have a leaf wrapper, I do suspect the binder to be homogenized.
There is one brand suggestively said to have only lamina, excluding the binder/wrapper.
Do you remember the dissection video where it was discovered ultra-premium cigars were found to be, how would you say, lesser.
bliss did hit the nail on the head with "about 1/3 of one half of a leaf".
Having said that, blends may call for a specific amount of something for a profile target.
