Cigars can come in any shape or size - it’s the ingredients, and the
way those ingredients are handled, that makes them good or bad.

Almost
all cigars (except extremely thin models) are made up of three
components: the filler, the tobacco at the center which is the most
important ingredient; the binder, an elastic leaf that holds the filler
in the center; and the outer wrapper, which contains and holds together
the binder.

Perhaps the most important difference among cigars
is the difference among fillers. Handmade cigars, considered the
highest-quality kind, use entire tobacco leaves; this is called a “long
filler.” Machine-made cigars will combine scraps of various tobacco
leaves into a homogenized tobacco product called “short filler,” which
can be rolled quickly into many cigars, with a corresponding loss of
individual tastes and textures. Cigar aficiandos generally prefer
long-filler tobacco. However, long-filler cigars can still vary in
terms of the quality of tobacco used and the blend among different
kinds of tobacco leaves.
