Cigar Basics

How are cigars made?
Cigars are made either by hand or by a machine. A handmade cigar is where the tobacco leaves were picked, sorted, and bundled by an individual, not a machine. The cigar itself was fashioned by a skilled cigar roller using a few simple tools. A machine made cigar is where most or all of the cigar was made from a machine, and many of the processing stages such as picking the leaves, grinding up the filler tobacco, and rolling the cigar were completed by machine.

What is a premium cigar?
A premium or super-premium cigar is a cigar made by hand and should be consistent from one cigar to the next. Premium cigars are constructed from three parts - the filler, the binder, and the wrapper. The filler is the interior of the cigar. When the term "long filler" is used, it means that the filler was constructed from full leaves. These leaves are picked, stored, and aged intact, and are obviously handled with great care. Rolling long filler cigars takes great skill to insure that it burns evenly and smoothly. The second type of filler is short filler. Short filler consists of loose clippings of leaves that are leftover from the long filler production. The next part of the cigar in the binder that consists of several layers of leaves that encircle the spirals of filler. As the name implies, it forms the filler into a circular shape, so that the next, and final component, the wrapper, can be applied.

Drugstore cigars vs. premium cigars?
Most packaged “drug store” cigars are machine made and include non-tobacco ingredients such as paper, saltpeter (for burning) and PG of Glycerin (to prevent them from drying out). Premium cigars are hand made and contain only tobacco. Please see filler in the glossary to learn more about the tobacco within cigars.

What is the anatomy of a cigar?
The Anatomy of a Cigar:

	Cap
	\|
Flag -	C	- Head
	I
	G	- Body
	A
	R	- Tuck or Foot

Cap, Head or Flag – A loose piece of tobacco applied with natural glue as the finishing touch to the cigar. Offers a nice appearance and, if applied properly, feels good in your mouth and prevents the wrapper from unraveling.

Body – main portion of cigar consists of Filler, Binder, and Wrapper.

Filler – long leaves of tobacco (Long filler) or cut up pieces of tobacco (Short filler) that compromise the bulk of the cigar and deliver most of the flavor.

Long filler – filled with long leaves of tobacco deftly gathered together by a roller. A long-filler cigar is almost always handmade, and all premium handmade cigars are long-filler cigars.

Short Filler – the middle of a short-filler cigar is filled with leaves, stems, and other scraps of tobacco chopped up by a machine, in a machine made cigar.

Binder – tough, coarse tobacco that holds the whole thing together in hand made cigars or ground up tobacco bits that are held together by natural glue in machine made cigars.

Wrapper – A silky leaf of tobacco that makes your cigar look and feel attractive.

Tuck or Foot – The business end of the cigar – the end that you light.
