CIGARS
Presentation By :LOHITAKKSH CHAUHHAN
Cigar is a tightly rolled bundle of dried and fermented tobacco.
The word CIGAR originated from the Spanish CIGARRO, which in turn probably derives from the Mayan SICAR (“to smoke rolled tobacco leaves”).
Cigar is made up of three types of Tobacco leaves.
Fillers – broken or crushed leaves which forms the centre of cigar
Binders- small leaves are bound around the filler and a special type of glue is used to bind these leaves in cigar
Wrappers- big leaves that are soft & elastic wrapped to give the final smooth surface

COLOR & CLASSIFICATION
Since the wrapper is the only part of the cigar
wholly seen by the smoker, it makes sense that
cigars would be graded and referenced by their
wrapper (capa) color.
