At first the tobacco leaves are inspected to identify whether they will be used as filler or wrapper depending on the color and texture of leaves. And then these cigars reach the rolling stage in which the three components of cigar viz. filler, binder and wrapper are used to finally shape it attractively and royally. Finally, the packaging is done by placing labels on the top quarter of the cigar, covering each of them in a cellophane tube to protect the wrapper and then putting them individually in wooden boxes specially made for aging process. These boxes are then further covered with cellophane wrapper and sealed to protect them from the physical damage caused during their transportation to various sellers.
These delicate and exquisite homemade cigars are stored further at 70 degrees with 70% relative humidity in humidor for aging process so as to enhance their flavor, aroma and taste. That is why aged cigars are of high quality and quite expensive. Diamond crown, Troya, Partagas, H.Upmann, Grupo Leon Jimenes, Montecristo, Trinidad, Padron, Tabacalera Esteli, Costa Rican are some of the exquisite handmade cigars. The cigar goes through a very long journey, which starts from a tobacco seed and ends in the hands of a cigar smoker and slowly turns into ashes.
