Reference Guide
Construction
Hand Made - Use long tobacco leaves as the filler which runs the
length of the cigar. The Filler, binder and wrapper is combined
manually.
Machine Made - Uses machinery to combine "short filler" with the
binder and wrapper. Often Homogenized tobacco is use because of the
tension caused from the machinery.
Hand Rolled - Machine combines the Long filler with the binder
and then is hand rolled.
