Cigars are wrapped in paper and covered with tobacco leaves

Yes, direct bread is tobacco. Cigar (English: Cigar) is a kind of cigarette, which is made of dried and fermented tobacco.

[Six points to distinguish good cigars from bad cigars]

1, a good cigar should be a hand-made whole leaf rolled cigar.

There are two kinds of full-leaf rolled cigars: one is hand-rolled full-leaf rolled cigars, which have obvious external ribs, and the appearance and thickness of each cigarette are quite different; The other is the machine-rolled full-leaf cigar, which has a smooth appearance, uniform thickness and thin outer sheath, and is generally more neat and beautiful than the full-hand-rolled cigar. However, good cigars can't be rolled by machine, and good cigars can't be polluted by hundreds of production processes. The smell and oil stains produced by machinery have great influence on the aroma, taste and aftertaste of cigars. In addition, any machine can't replace the feeling of human hands, and it can't handle the range that should be adjusted because of the change of cigarette core and inner and outer foreskin.

2. The core of a good cigar is the combination of flaky tobacco leaves.

All high-quality hand-made cigars must have a flaky core. If the tobacco core is cut into shreds by machinery, the fiber structure and chemical composition of tobacco leaves will change greatly, reducing the original quality of tobacco leaves. Therefore, the cigarette cores of fine cigars are all made by hand. Tear tobacco leaves into 8- 15mm leaves.

3, the taste is not bitter, not a cigar

The taste of a good cigar is bitter with sweet, bitter first and then sweet, just right, which makes people can't tell whether it is bitter or sweet. Just like a person drinking coffee, he enjoys a rich aroma and a sweet and delicious taste from his bitterness. The bitterness and sweetness of a good cigar are combined in its mellow and full aroma and lasting and comfortable aftertaste.

A good cigar will go out automatically if you don't smoke it.

The cigarette flamed out in the burning process and was judged as unqualified. Good cigars are just the opposite. If you don't smoke, it won't burn. It will stop smoking in a few seconds, then turn off the fire in three to five minutes, and it must be rekindled when you smoke again. This is because superior cigars can't be added with any combustion improver in the production process, and tobacco leaves can't be puffed. In addition, the price of first-class cigars is tens or even hundreds of yuan, so it is a pity to burn them like cigarettes.

5. Good cigars don't produce phlegm after smoking.

A good cigar does not produce phlegm after smoking, but also has the function of relieving cough and resolving phlegm. So cigar smokers often don't spit everywhere, because they have nothing to spit. Good cigar tobacco leaves are not allowed to be planted with chemical fertilizers. Before rolling, tobacco leaves must undergo long-term accumulation and fermentation to remove odor and raw smoke smell. In the process of spontaneous combustion and alcoholization, harmful components are continuously decomposed, and tobacco leaves become elastic and mellow. In addition, the burning temperature of good cigars is lower than that of cigarettes 100 degrees, generally around 700-750 degrees, and the sugar content is also lower than that of other tobacco leaves, so the harmful components in smoke are far lower than those of other cigarettes.

6. A good cigar has a mellow aroma and no peculiar smell.

Excellent cigars can't absorb any artificial aroma and strange smell in the smoking process, and only pure natural tobacco leaves can produce the mellow and full aroma of cigars. This is because it is forbidden to use any chemical additives in the whole process from planting tobacco leaves to rolling cigars, and even the adhesive needed for rolling must use pure natural plants. So when you smoke a cigar, you can suck out artificial aroma and strange smell. That cigar is not a good cigar.
