Cigar wrappers affect their taste and overall experience. Finding the right one depends on your taste and preference. They differ in color and each give off a distinct taste ad flavor making them unique.

Here is a list of the different cigar wrappers available in the market:

Claro

This type of wrapper is grown under a net. It is harvested before it matures and it is dried quickly. The Claro produces a mild taste and is light tan in color.

Double Claro

It used to be the most popular type of wrapper. It is light green with a slightly sweet taste. Its color comes from the fact that it was dried quickly with the use of heat.

Maduro

The Maduro goes through a fermentation process, giving it a dark brown or almost black color. It has a smooth and rich taste.

Oscuro

This wrapper is very dark and almost black. The tobacco leaf used is found at the very top of the tobacco plant and it is usually the last part to be harvested. It gives the wrapper a distinct and strong taste which may seem too strong for some smokers.

Colorado

It is shade-grown and it gives a touch of spice. It is medium brown in color with a reddish hue.

Colorado Claro

This wrapper is usually grown under the sun and it has a smooth, medium taste. It is medium brown in color.

Colorado Maduro

It is considered a cross between a Colorado and a Maduro.

Top 10 Most Expensive Cigars

January 21, 2023 By Anna

Smoking cigars is not a cheap hobby. Premium hand rolled cigars cost around $2-$28 each in most chops. There are elite cigars though that cost much more than that. As we all know, the better the quality of tobacco used the more expensive it gets. Here is a list of the most expensive cigars in the world:

Padrón Serie 1926 80 Years – $30.00

This cigar was created to celebrate the 80th birthday of the company’s founder, Jose Orlando Padron. It is the cheapest premium cigar which comes wrapped in natural wrappers or maduro. These cigars are packed in boxes of eight pieces, but they are also sold individually in many cigar shops.

Cohiba Esplendido – $34.00

This brand was founded in the mid-sixties in Havana, Cuba where it is still produced today. It comes in packs of three ($92) and boxes of twenty-five ($750).

Stradavarius – $34.70

The Stradavarius Churchill is a combination of Nicaraguan, Mexican and Dominican tobaccos rolled in Dominican habano seed wrapper leaf. It is sold in packs of ten which are placed in individual containers inside a humidor.

Louixs – $50.00

Its manufacturer claims that it is “the finest cigar money can buy”. The Goldwin Metropolitan Company manufactures it for the Beverly Hills Cigar club and it is packed individually.

Arturo Fuente Opus X BBMF – $55.00

This cigar is so hard to find that even online sellers have few five pack stocks available. It is also interesting to know that the BBMF in the name stands for Big Bad Mother… You can finish the sentence off for yourself and you will know what they are talking about once you have tried this cigar’s unique punch.

Gurkha His Majesty’s Reserve – $750

This unique cigar blend is infused with Louis XIII Cognac. Only 100 boxes of these are produced in a year. It is 7.5 inches long with a 52 ring gauge. A box of twenty is $15,000.

Cigar Friendly Cities In The United States

January 18, 2023 By Cigar Blog

Cigars and cigar enthusiasts have their own brand of culture. Ask anyone who is into cigars seriously and they will tell you the same thing. If you are looking to experience this kind of culture, there are many cities in the States where you can go. Here are some of the top cities that are best for the cigar lover.

Las Vegas, Nevada
This should not come as a surprise. In Vegas, everything goes and everything can be had – cigars included. Many cigar related organizations actually choose Vegas as their venue for various activities because of the permissive attitude in the city. Even if you are not part of any convention or special activity, merely visiting Vegas can give you the best cigar experience of your life. You never know, you could even get free cigars from some establishments.

Miami, Florida

Another “un-surprise” city on our list. You can walk the sidewalks and find some of the best cigars in the world. Visit Little Havana and get a taste of Cuba right in the United States. Of course, the tobacco is not grown in Cuba – the embargo is still in effect after all, it is in fact grown in the Dominican Republic – but it is the closest you can get to the “real thing.”

Tampa, Florida

This other Florida city is famous for cigars and is actually home to some of the biggest and most popular cigar retailers. This is the city to go if you want to experience cigar history.
