Cigars are made from special varieties of tobacco that require careful
tending. Tobacco leaves intended to be used as cigar wrappers must be
carefully grown and harvested to keep the leaves free of blemishes.
Cigar tobacco is grown in Central American countries, West Africa and
Indonesia and the Connecticut River Valley in USA. Cuba, The Dominican
Republic, Ecuador, Honduras, Nicaraguan, Cameroon, Mexico and United
States tobaccos all have their characteristic flavours and give
particular properties to a cigar. Check out http://www.cigars-now.info
Cuban tobacco is the best. It is usually strong and full bodied, and
gives a spicy and aromatic flavor to a cigar.
Dominican tobacco is quite full flavored and is useful in the making
of complex blends.
Ecuadorian tobacco is milder.
Honduras and Nicaragua produce a full bodied tobacco with a strong
spicy flavor.
Mexican leaves are widely used as binder and filler in cigars. Mexican
tobacco leaves are commonly used as wrappers in dark Maduro cigars.
The Connecticut River Valley, in USA, produces some of the best
wrapper leaf
