Monte Calme Yellow

[dvick003]

Does anyone have any experience growing and smoking Monte Calme Yellow? It looks to have large leaves and be pretty thick so it seems like it could be a good variety for cigar filler/binder. How is the flavor and workability?

Mont Calme Yellow was derived (in Switzerland, I believe) from a Burley variety. Mont Calme Brun was derived from Havana. I have only had experience with the latter. It's leaves were huge, light colored after curing, and fairly mild.

Any idea where I can find some Monte Calme Brun? I would be interested in growing it...
