The Cigar Making ProcessCigar making takes anywhere from two to three years from start to finish, depending on the type and manufacturer.After a seed is planted it takes four months before the plant is ready for harvesting, or removal of the mature, ripe leaves. The tobacco leaves are picked in six stages, from the bottom of the plant to the top. These stages include libra de pie (the base), uno y medio (section directly above the base), centro ligero (center of plant with thinnest leaves), centro fino (center of plant with mid-sized leaves), centro gordo (center of plant with thickest leaves) and corona (top of plant or crown). Following the harvest, several steps are completed before the leaves are ready for the cigar factory. Step 1: Aging & Curing Tobacco must be dried immediately following the harvest. Therefore, leaves are hung inside for six to eight weeks. Step 2: First Fermentation Once the leaves are dry they are placed in piles and covered with burlap. This allows the remaining moisture to initiate the fermentation process, giving the leaves their brown color while lowering the tar and nicotine levels. Step 3: Sorting Following the fermentation process, the leaves are sorted according to color, size and texture. In addition, they are flattened and moistened, with any broken leaves discarded and used for cigarettes. Step 4: Second Fermentation After leaves are sorted, a second two-month fermentation process occurs to allow leaves to reach ideal temperature and humidity. Following the final fermentation the leaves arrive at the cigar factory where they can age for up to two years, depending on the cigar type. Cigar AnatomyWrapperThe wrapper leaf encloses the binder and filler. The wrapper is a high quality leaf and is responsible for the cigar's aroma and appearance. The darker the color of the wrapper, the sweeter and stronger the flavor and the greater the oil and sugar content will be. Light wrappers include Connecticut, Natural and Colorado Claro. Popular varieties of dark include Colorado, Colorado Maduro, Maduro and Oscuro. Filler The filler is a unique blend of tobacco leaves rolled into the center of the cigar. Originating at the middle section or base of the tobacco plant, the leaves partially determine how strong the cigar will taste and how distinctive the flavor. The two types of fillers include the long, which is an entire leaf rolled into the cigar, and a short, consisting of a variety of tobacco leaf scraps. Bind The binder is a leaf that holds the filler, or tobacco leaves, which are then enclosed into the wrapper. It originates from the top of the tobacco plant, where the extra sun exposure creates a strong flavor. Depending on the manufacturer, some use the binder as a filler to increase the flavor intensity of the cigar. The overall flavor of a cigar is determined by the unique blending of wrappers, binders and fillers. Visit, Call or Email Leelanau Cigar Today!
