Love For The Custom Cigar Bands

People today have an obsession with the cigar band rings, and apparently they did earlier this century as well. Back in the early 1900’s apparently US cigar companies did not bother with manufacturing cigar band rings because the cigars were of poor quality anyhow and did not figure the bands would matter.

Once paper prices dropped around the 1950’s they started producing colorful cigar band rings of many different varieties on their cigars again and the American public just loved it. Soon people were digging through ashtrays to collect the many different colors, and before too long the companies started selling just boxes of mixed box variety cigar bands to collectors.

Hence the birth of the personalized cigar bands we see today. If you look up cigar deals online you will find many sites that offer custom cigar bands at very low prices.

Accessories For Your Cigar Party

Throwing a cigar party? Sure everyone knows that you light a cigar and smoke it to celebrate a significant event, but there are two main accessories that most true cigar connoisseurs own and know how to use.

The first is a cigar band ring. The purpose of the ring is so that it can be slipped off the finger and placed around the cigar in place of the cigar band. Nowadays it is somewhat a status symbol to wear a cigar band ring.

The second common accessory is a cigar cutter which is essential if you plan on lighting the cigar. The most common cutter is known as a guillotine cutter which works exactly as the name denotes to snip off the last 1/8 inch of the cigar tip. There is always the primitive way of cutting the tip with your teeth, but to look more professional searching cigars deals online should allow you to purchase a cutter at a reasonable price.

Cigar Fillers - What's the Story?

Just what's inside that cigar you just smoked? Many times cigars as favors are handed out, and it would be nice to know something about them. Many cigars, especially some of the more premium brands, use very different grades of tobacco for the filler and the wrapper. "Long filler cigars" signify a much higher quality cigar, using exclusively long leaves of tobacco throughout the cigar. These type of cigars will also employ a third variety of tobacco leaf, a "binder", between the filler leaves and the outer wrapper. This enables expert cigar makers to use very delicate and attractive leaves as an outer wrapper. These are very nearly always blended varieties of cigar tobacco, and are among the most sought after cigars you can imagine. Many times each part of the cigar tobacco leaves will come from different countries.

In most cheap cigars, the filler consists of chopped up tobacco leavings, and it's not uncommon to find a bogus type of cigar "paper", made up entirely of tobacco pulp and used to bind the cigar together.

Producing a Fine Cigar

The next time you're hosting a cigar catering event, you can wow your guests with some specialized knowledge of just how a cigar makes it from the field to your home.

A master blender is in charge of the process, and gives the cigar rollers several boxes of tobacco leaves, from four to six; and a formula for how the cigar is to be constructed.

The cigar rollers then presses the leaves into a bunch, and then cuts them to the correct size, after which they are put into a press, where they stay for about an hour.

After this time, the molded leaves come back to his table where he carefully wraps each one with a wrapper leaf that is chosen for both visual and aromatic qualities. The roller dabs a spot of vegetable glue onto the head of the cigar so that it won't unravel.

Then they are inspected carefully by their supervisors, where after passing inspection they go the aging room, where they may sit for some months to age before they are sent out to the world for consumption.
