In the late 1800s, Wilson was tabbed as the world’s largest tobacco market, which brought in money, employment, businesses and more.

Artisan Leaf offers their items in different shades and tones that can provide a different look for each home’s aesthetic. They use different kinds of tobacco to give them this look such as flue cured, burley and cigar leaf.
