It’s all in the wrapper and binding
July 31, 2008
It is the gentle giant that holds everything inside that delicious cigars of your together. The binder is the blanket that comforts the sweet Cuban tobacco. Yes it might not appear as polished as the wrapper of your cigar. The wrapper is what you touching with your fingers while your are smoking your Cuban cigars.
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.
Sorry for the sarcasm, but only true Cuban cigar aficionados like you and I know how amazing Cuban cigars truly are. The binder is not bunch of ropes or microscopic threads situated in the middle of the Cuban cigar. The binder is also a half of the single leaf. Most people think that the binder is just another material but no not at all.
“Torecdores” or Cuban cigar rollers are well respected individuals and rightfully so. Rolling Cuban cigars is an art form that only the truly gifted can master. When you get a chance to go to Cuba, you must drop by at a Havana factory and see the miracle for yourself. It is simply mind blowing the sophistication behind each single Cuban cigar.
It is down right impossible to make a ‘good’ cigar without a binder. That is why when people try Cuban cigars, they are just so overwhelmed by the consistency. Cuban cigars are consistent throughout for a reason because it is a tradition that every one follows in Cuban and has been for a long time.
