Cuban cigars need about 500 processes from seed to finished product, and all of them are handmade, because its quality, cost and manufacturing technology make Cuban cigars very expensive, which also leads to many counterfeit products. It is said that more than 95% of American cigars are fake, which shows how difficult it is to make. The seeds of this Cuban cigar are specially selected, and it takes one year from planting to harvesting. Cuba's fertile red soil can cultivate the best tobacco leaves in the world, then hang them in a special drying room, and go through a series of complicated procedures such as fermentation and baking, which can increase their flavor, aroma and burning characteristics. Moreover, each tobacco leaf has to undergo a series of tests, and the tobacco leaves with the best appearance quality are operated by experienced Cuban tobacco makers.
In Cuba, a highly skilled tobacco maker is highly respected. The best tobacco leaves must be hand-made by a respected tobacco maker, and his cigars will be the best. A box of about 40 cigars made by these masters costs10.5 million euros, which is10.5 million yuan when converted into RMB. But the environment in most cigar factories is not very good. There are many workers sitting in the dark and humid factory. Their movements are very skilled, but their eyes are dull and their expressions are numb, just like people on the assembly line.
Cuban cigars have a unique flavor because Cuban girls rub them out on their thighs when they smoke, so they have the smell of girls. But in fact, cigarette workers are generally older, experienced or middle-aged. Most cigars are divided into three layers, in which the cigarette core is made of small leaves at the top. In order to ensure the uniform distribution of cigarette cores, it can affect the strength and richness of cigars. The outer leaves are the middle leaves, which affect the flavor and aroma of cigars. Finally, the outermost layer of smoking is the big leaves at the lower end of tobacco, which is the key to maintaining the continuous burning of cigars. Finally, cut the cigar coat into appropriate sizes with an oval cigar knife, wrap it layer by layer, and fix it with a drop of pectin, so that a cigar is finished. Moreover, this kind of cigar can be preserved for a long time under proper temperature and humidity, especially after three to four years of collection, and its unique fragrance can be brought into full play.
