Field notes

From the Blending Table

The Connecticut River Valley gave the industry its benchmark mild wrapper — golden Shade — and its opposite: Broadleaf, the thick, dark, sweet maduro leaf serious blends wear.

We source US leaf for programs that want the classic American profiles: boardroom-mild Shade faces, or Broadleaf maduros with that dark maple depth. Both anchor blends aimed at the US market’s oldest tastes.
