Cigar smoking isn’t for everyone. We know that. But we still think every man should know a bit about the art. There’s a lot of history behind this age-old practice as well as an entire culture to go along with it. Plus, you wouldn’t want to seem foolish when one of your friends eventually has a baby and passes out cigars to all of his friends. Would you?
Hand-rolled cigars are the preferred choice for beginners and connoisseurs alike. Machine made cigars such as Dutch Masters may contain preservatives and chemicals whereas hand-rolled cigars are made with pure tobacco. The filler in hand-rolled cigars as well as the binder to hold the filler and the outer wrapper are all made from 100% tobacco leaves.
This video from Eugen Studio demonstrates how cigars are hand-made at Correnti Cigars in Toronto.
