What is a Cigar?

A cigar is a handmade tobacco product that requires the labor of many skilled workers to produce. Unlike cigarettes which use artificial ingredients, cigars are made with natural tobacco leaves that must be carefully selected and then aged. This process results in a richer, more complex flavor than a cigarette. Cigars are available in a variety of sizes and shapes.

Cigars can take up to two hours to smoke, depending on the size, which provides an opportunity for the smoker to relax. It also allows the cigar smoker to step away from a stressful situation, and regain control of their emotions. The smoker can enjoy a good cigar while relaxing on their favorite chair or couch, and sipping a glass of wine or other beverage.

Unlike a cigarette, which can have up to 200 chemicals and additives in it, a premium cigar only contains one ingredient – tobacco. This means the flavors and aromas that are associated with a good cigar come from the natural processes of fermentation, aging, and blending tobacco. The coloration of a cigar is achieved through natural oxidation, and no dyes or ripening accelerants are used.

It has been said that it takes over 200 pairs of hands to make a single hand-rolled cigar. This is because each step is done by someone with a different skill set. This includes the growers, the harvesters, the rollers, and those who band, box, and ship the cigars to be consumed. Cigars are often categorized as being either strong or medium in body strength, although it is important to note that the difference between these two categories has nothing to do with how powerfully the nicotine affects the smoker.
