Cigars are made from fermented cigar tobacco leaves. The fermentation process reduces sugar and water content of the tobacco leaves without causing it to decompose. Depending on the quality and appearance, the tobacco leaves are sorted for use as filler or wrapper. The fillers are rolled tightly together and then wrapped by wrapper leaves to form a cigar.

Cigar tobaccos are cultivated in bulk in areas including the Eastern United States, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Brazil, Cameroon, Indonesia and Philippines. The potency of cigars was once defined by the countries of origin. For example, the cigars manufactured in Dominican and Mexican are often considered milder in flavor whereas the cigars manufactured in Honduran and Nicaraguan are known to be stronger in taste.

Producers of all cigar producing countries are manufacturing different flavor of cigars using various type of tobaccos from different countries because cigar smokers are now more focused on the quality and flavor of cigars. As an example Drew Estate, which is the maker of ACID cigars, uses tobaccos from Italy, Spain and Turkey for its Natural selection. Consequently, the countries of origin is not specifically the main factor that identifies the strength of cigars.. Country of origin does play a role to the style of a cigar. For example, Cuban “style” cigar has its own distinctive flavor are made with all Cuban-grown tobacco.

In general, it’s great for cigar smokers that manufacturers produce different flavor of tobaccos produced from different kind of tobacco leaves as endless supply of taste experience are offered to them.
