So what holds that Cuban cigar of yours intact.You know the actual layer to the most outside of a Cuban cigar? That oily wrapper (At least it’s suppose to be a little oily if it’s a good cigar)is what is outside of the binder. Yes the construction of Cuban cigars is a art on it’s own.
It takes a decent amount of time to completely finish a Cuban cigar and have it all ready to go. Their are so many little things that need to be taken care of such as the wrapper and binder.
These wrappers are usually oily and if they are not, your Cuban cigars are too dry. If the binder is the chassis that holds the ‘tobacco muscle’, than the wrapper is the beautiful exterior of your ‘Lamborghini’ cigar. Yes I know that analogy makes sense now doesn’t it.
Going back to the wrappers of the Cuban cigar, they are also the most expensive and rarest to grow. It makes sense because it is the most important part of the cigar when it comes to the look. Cuban cigars are beautiful objects and a wrapper not perfect is not going to work. Cuban cigar rollers take great pride in creating the most delicate yet powerful wrappers for their Cuban cigars.
So what is a good wrapper, well it should be free from large veins and silky almost oily when you touch the wrapper. They must also be in one single color for each particular Cuban cigar brand that they are being constructued for. A cigar wrapper is essential in the presentation of a Cuban cigar.
