Factors That Determine the Flavor and Strength of a Cigar

There are several factors that determine the flavor and strength of a cigar. First, cigars must burn properly to be enjoyable. The construction of a cigar is also important. A poorly made cigar will not draw well and will have poor flavor and burn. This, in turn, will diminish the overall enjoyment. Also, the country of origin of the tobacco leaves can affect the taste of the cigars.

Second, the leaves of the tobacco must be aged before they can be used in the cigars. To do so, the outer wrapper leaves undergo the process of destemming and despalillo, which removes the thick central vein. This process is done manually or by machine. The same is true for the filler tobacco, which is stripped of its stem.

Cigars differ in size and shape from cigarettes, and the two are wrapped in different materials. Cigars are larger and contain more tobacco than cigarettes, while cigarettes are typically wrapped in paper or other non-tobacco material. Cigars also contain more nicotine than cigarettes – in fact, one cigar has as much nicotine as one pack of unfiltered cigarettes.

Cigars can have better vintages or strength than others. Generally speaking, the quality of a cigar depends on the quality of the tobacco and weather conditions. Although cigarmakers will do their best to produce consistent cigars, no two premium cigars will be exactly the same. This is normal, since cigars are handmade and contain minute differences in the tobacco.
