webmost:The leaf is a pinch of Kentucky Burley, of a variety they call One Sucker, cause that variety doesn't sprout more than one "sucker" on the stem. I threw it in there in lieu of a humidipack to help keep your cigars in what tobacco growers call "good case". Why do they speak of "case" instead of humidity or dampness or such? I have asked, but I don't get any better answer than that's just the term they use. I didn't invent this method of using a sacrificial leaf to maintain case. A biker/sailor buddy brought me a cigar rolled in the Puerta Vallarta mercado by Don Martin here recently. Told the roller he was toting it north to a gringo weeks hence; so the good Don stuck it in a baggie with a leaf. It's a herbidipack. Plus, baccy leaf does smell good, doesn't it?
