Brushing up on your terminology and really understanding all there is to know about cigars can take quite some time, but getting familiar with the basics and diving into the world of cigar smoking can be a quick process that helps you truly figure out what it is you like and dislike.
Made up of the core where the flavor and taste is stored, a cigar also has a binder which is where the coarse flakes of tobacco help bring everything together. The outer layer is the softer, smoother part of the cigar that allows the lips to truly establish the flavor and feel when a cigar is being smoked.
