Smoking Cigars has been a tradition for centuries, and much of the techniques used way back in the day are still being implemented in today’s world.

Cigars are defined as a tightly rolled bundle of dried and fermented tobacco which is lighted so that it may be smoked, but in all actuality they are so much more.

Many people enjoy a cigar, and do so almost anywhere. From parties, to business meetings, to clubs, people love to puff on a good cigar.

Cigars are often smoked to celebrate special occasion: the birth of a child, a graduation, and a big sale. The expression "close but no cigar" comes from the practice of giving cigars as prizes in games involving good aim at fairgrounds.

Major U.S. print media portray cigars favorably; they generally frame cigar use as a lucrative business or a trendy habit, which in all actuality they are.

Each brand and type of cigar tastes different. While the wrapper does not entirely determine the flavor of the cigar, darker wrappers tend to produce a sweetness, while lighter wrappers usually have a "drier" taste.

 Whether a cigar is mild, medium, or full bodied does not correlate with quality. Different smokers will have different preferences, some liking one good cigar better than another, others disagreeing.

 Some words used to describe cigar flavor and texture include; spicy, peppery (red or black), sweet, harsh, burnt, green, earthy, woodsy, cocoa, roasted, aged, nutty, creamy, cedar, oak, chewy, fruity, and leathery. You can also find an array of pipe tobacco.

The majority of a cigar is made up of fillers which are wrapped-up bunches of leaves inside the wrapper. Fillers of various strengths are usually blended to produce desired cigar flavors. In the cigar industry this is referred to as a blend.

Many cigar manufacturers pride themselves in constructing the perfect blend that will give the smoker the most enjoyment of cigar. The more oils present in the tobacco leaf, the stronger (less dry) the filler.

Types range from the minimally flavored Volado taken from the bottom of the plant, through the light-flavored Seco (dry) taken from the middle of the plant, to the strong Ligero from the upper leaves exposed to the most sunlight.

Fatter cigars of larger gauge hold more filler, with greater potential to provide a full body and complex flavor. When used, Ligero is always folded into the middle of the filler because it burns slowly.

Cigar tobacco is grown in significant quantities in Brazil, Cameroon, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Indonesia, Mexico, Nicaragua, Sumatra, Philippines, and the Eastern United States.
