A lession on Cigars

 You are getting ripped of. A Cigar is made by tabacco leaves that have been fermented, dried and than by using flavored oil rolled into what is called a Cigar.

The quality of a Cigar is not measured by the paper roll, but by the amout of full leaves rolled up versus full leaves that hold broken leaves inside.

And that's it.

The fermenting process is as relevant as the destilling process for Whiskey. Whiskey gets its taste by the time in the barrel, otherwise it is either Bourbon or Jack Daniels. Not that much realy. 
The oil used to make the leaves rollable is important, but no main secret and therefore Not that much relevant realy.
The leave quality in terms of broken or full leaves is important to the way the Cigar burns down, which must be equal for comfort, but comfort only. Just check how the open end of the Cigar looks like. Many rolls or many chips...
Along with a Cigar on should have a Rum. The sweetnes of Rum adds to the flavor of a Cigar and the combination of smoke and Rum on the tounge make the taste experiance.

Personally, I consider the in Europe available Romeo and Juliette smaller Cigars the best value and something like a Butocal Reserva Rum an appropriate accomplice for rare occations, I have not had in many many years.
