Cigars

Cigars are a tightly rolled bundle of dried and fermented tobacco which is lighted so that it may be smoked. 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. 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 have been celebration time staples for many centuries. Some examples are 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.

Cigars are 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.
