It's darker than the BMF wrap I have, I'd say.
It's the Lenten season, I guess it's "holey" leaf.

How do you mean?
If this is not the same mata fina as the filler... I'm screwed!
Apparently the filler has no timeline for the foreseeable future

We need to take advantage of availability when we can.
I guess i just assumed it would always be there...

Haven’t hat time to look yet.
So WLT won’t have BMF Viso any more?

Is this what is now listed?This was the best of three free sample leaves of MF binder. I think it's a good thing WLT hasn't listed this item yet as I don't feel it's ready for prime time. I'm gonna give it a go as filler. Its smell is redolent of MSA, that kinda plasticy rubbery charcoaly MSA thing.

I can only guess "yes." Mine was a recent sample.
Do you know if he means there are beetles in it or bug damage from leaves being eaten while it was growing?
The bug damage is unfortunate.
Eggs are inherent in all tobacco. Freezing destroys larvae and, bugs only.
What brings eggs to hatch is high humidity and temperatures. In other words, mishandling.
With the damage, all you have is the damage, that's it.

Over on the Fairtrade website Don mentioned the damaged leaf and he was going to discount it.
Would it be any good as filler??

Yep. Don also mentioned the type of vigilance he takes around there for us.
Discounted? Have you looked? No don't! I, myself, don't like when all y'all buy leaf because it means less for me..
Eventually, we get to the realization that the downfalls in all this is due to our own inabilities instead of blaming every thing or, one else.
Or, just don't like tobacco because, most of the commercial sticks we all have been trained to love are infused/mojoed for or, with flavor.
Looking at bliss's pic, I believe I'd be able to get two sticks wrapped from it. So, filler at the least.

Marc, I haven’t checked.
I’m betting we don’t appreciate the difficulty on buying high quality cigar leaf probably sight unseen, in relatively small quantities.
There are really only two suppliers for we homerollers, given that we really need to be supportive of them.
Times I’m concerned one of them will stop selling cigar leaf. Let’s hope both are making enough money to stay in the cigar leaf business.
Truly I don’t try to emulate any commercial cigar blend. I like some of my blends much better.
Then again I’ve got a whole bunch that are yard gars at best.

Back to that BMF,
Has anyone actually tried it for flavor yet?
