Curiosity got the better of me and I ordered three quarter pound samples of odd wrappers from Total Leaf Supply, despite the fact I'd sworn never to. Very fine looking large wrapper leaves, supple and ready. All leaves two foot or more in length and will prolly stretch out wide. But I much doubt that, for example, the French Dark Air Cured wrap was grown in France ("Origin: France" is advertised) at that price point. I bet all this was grown in VA or PA from seed perhaps sourced from wherever. Likewise the stuff advertised as Ugandan, etc.
Nevertheless, good looking wrap:

Why did you vow that? Don't you need to roll 16 fat blunts with every wrapper leaf you buy? [edit: oh wait, was it because of them using "Whole Leaf" links to snag WLT traffic?]

The air-cured Ugandan snurfs like PA broadleaf drying in an Amish barn
It smokes like that tiny Turkish Izmir leaf they add to flavor cigarettes.
Pleasant enough.
The air-cured French may have the best potential of all. Snurfs very mild, lays flat, stretches, strong, thin...
Only neggie I can see is that damp mottles the color.
Gonna see if I can find time to spark this one later today.

The French air-cured smokes best of all. I don't know what to liken it to. A subtle soupcon of spice. Gonne have to torque several more just to identify what color truffle it is. Plus lays down smooth as stone-washed silk.
2 lbs Nic viso, 2 lbs T-13 viso, and 2 lbs piloto viso today
Must be national viso day
Getting to where I must contrive another give away, cause the supply is out of hand
I do have some stuff I'm not real fond of. Noting wrong with it... just not my cuppa tea.
74th birthday coming up next week. How can I engineer a birthday give away? Ideas?
I might wander over to the Fakebook page and cook up something there. I dunno.

Yeah, I dunno... I've sent enough batches to newbs I ought to send a batch to an oldb.
Not leaf, but it will hold lots of it soon.
Originally a mold for ouid but I'd say it's more for tobacco cause 52rg joint is kinda ridiculous.

I'm still thinking about buying some 1/4lb of wrappers from Total Leaf Supply. Three 1/4lb would put me over the $50 for free shipping. Webmost seemed to dig the stuff and there's some positive statements about it over at the FB Cigar Rollers page too. I think I have until Monday to decide.
