What is a "premium" cigar?!


Question:

What is a "premium" cigar?


Answers:
That's an easy one...a premium cigar is a 100% hand made cigar made with long filler tobacco (meaning full leaves, not pieces of tobacco-a cheap cigar has you spitting out the short fill because when u smoke them the short fill always enters your mouth) Anyway a premium cigar is ALSO a cigar that has been properly cured or aged...usually a premium cigar is aged at the very least 2 years. Usually under a year as raw tobacco, and at least 4 months as a rolled cigar...

That is the bare minimum for being a premium cigar...more expensive cigars consist of rare tobacco, years of aging, and better primings from the tobacco plant....

Premium cigars don’t just happen. They are handmade by skilled artisans who don’t just roll some tobacco in a leaf. They work slowly and carefully to capture the essence of the tobacco and the leaf in such a way as to produce a truly magnificent smoke. Premium cigar-makers usually produce between 100 and 300 cigars in a day, depending on the size of the cigars and the manufacturing process. That process begins after tobacco has been aged to “perfection.” Usually this takes between 2 and 5 years. That tobacco is then rolled into a wrapper leaf, which has also been aged several years. Once the tobacco has been rolled into the wrapper, it is set and left to age for an addition 3 to 4 months. Since most premium cigar utilize more than one tobacco, this final aging process allows the different tobaccos to become infused, offering one rich, smooth taste.
