What we are going to discuss today is the anatomy of a cigar.

As we go through our series we are going to discuss many aspects

of a cigar but lets start right from the very beginning and lets

talk about the cigars anatomy.

Most people just from looking at a cigar have an idea of what it

is. But right from the get go Ive been out many nights and have

seen people see it exactly wrong or just not understand the basics

of a cigar. Just so you dont fall into that little bit of

awkwardness while sitting next to someone who really knows cigars

this is what you really need to know.

The foot of the cigar is what you are going to light and thats

normally the opening that has been either shaved or already been

cut. Now the cap is going to be the other end that needs to be

clipped, punched, poked, scissored or wedged. Now we will go

through 3 of those that I suggest and dont need to really go

further then that but we will discuss in the next video series

when we talk about cutting the end of the cigar.

The anatomy of a cigar is also what is in it. The cigar is made

up of 3 layers, the filler, the binder and the wrapper. Lets

talk about each one individually. The filler is made out of the

top part of the tobacco plant its called the ligero part of the

plant. Normally the strongest part of the tobacco plant.

The binder is meant to actually hold the filler together and

causes the tobacco in the cigar to actually draw very nicely

through it. The binder is made from the volado leaf which is

the bottom part of the plant and closest to the ground and has

the tendency to allow the tobacco when its bonded around the

filler to draw very evenly.

The outer wrapper is the one that is the most important. When it

comes to the taste of your cigar its going to be 80-90% of the

taste of your cigar comes specifically from the wrapper. The

outer wrapper is also called the capa which the Cubans would call

it. It is the wrapper that is seen and is most distinguishing so

its going to be the wrapper on the entire plant and has the least

amount of visible defects and the best taste of the entire tobacco

plant.

If we were making a comparison to cake the icing would be the

wrapper and the cake itself would be the binder and the filler.

Now when you are eating a cake what do you taste most of?

Well your definitely tasting the icing the most but you like that

inside. Just so you understand that is the basic anatomy of the

cigar.
