Do cigars taste the same as ordinary cigarettes in our country?

Most Chinese people are not used to smoking cigars.

The difference between a cigar and a cigarette: the appearance is different, the raw materials are different, and the time it takes to make the finished product is different.

1. The appearance is different.

The finest cigars are made from pure natural tobacco leaves, which are carefully rolled by hand through natural light. The outer layer of cigarettes is almost all pine paper, and the common pine paper has two colors, one is white, and the other is coffee-colored. By comparing the top layer of the cigarette with the top layer of the cigar, it is clear that they have different slips.

2. The raw materials are different.

Cigar leaves go through multiple fermentation processes, after fermentation, the cigar retains its most natural color, without the addition of any chemicals, allowing it to maintain a purer tobacco flavor, and the nicotine content of the cigar is the lowest of all tobacco.

3. The time taken to make the finished product is different.

The whole process of making a cigar is much more complicated than that of a cigarette, and it takes more than 200 steps to make a cigar into a finished product. Cigars are aged for an average of 150 times per leaf from planting to maturity, and at least 1 year from harvest and fermentation to production, and some fine cigars even need to be aged for 5 to 8 years to exude the charm of the most mellow cigar.

How to distinguish between good and bad cigars

For a fine cigar that is all handmade, the filler must be flaky. If the tobacco core is shredded mechanically, the fiber structure and chemical composition of the tobacco leaf will change greatly, which will reduce the original quality of the tobacco leaf. Therefore, the fills of fine cigars are handmade.

Tear the tobacco leaves into 8-15 mm sized blades.

A good cigar tastes bitter and sweet, bitter in the front, sweet in the back, just right, people can't tell whether it is bitter or sweet, just like people drink coffee, from his bitterness to enjoy the mellow and plump aroma, sweet and delicious taste bridge the disadvantages. A good cigar is bitter and sweet in its full-bodied aroma and long-lasting pleasant finish.

The best cigar smoke does not have any artificial aroma and strange flavor during the smoking process, only the mellow and full aroma of cigar smoke produced by pure natural tobacco leaves. This is because the whole process of a good cigar smoke, from the cultivation of tobacco leaves to the rolling, prohibits the use of any chemical additives, and even the binders required for rolling must be made from pure natural plants.

Difference Between Cigar and Cigarette:

1. The difference in appearance.

The surface of the cigar is tobacco or tobacco leaf, and the color of the cigar changes according to the flavor and intensity of the cigar. In addition, the length and ring diameter of the cigar will vary from that of the cigarette. Cigars are generally larger than cigarettes, and each cigar has a band.

The surface of the cigarette is a cigarette paper filter, which is small in size, and in general, the size of the cigarette is 120mm, and the diameter is 10 full cylindrical strips.

2. The difference between the raw materials of tobacco leaves.

Chinese-style cigarettes: flue-cured tobacco leaves.

Mixed cigarettes: flue-cured tobacco and burley tobacco leaves.

Cigar smoke: Dry tobacco leaves with typical cigar aromas.

3. Differences in tobacco treatment methods.

Cigar leaves are grown very strictly, no chemical raw materials are allowed, and the tobacco leaves are fermented and stacked for a long time before rolling, in order to remove miscellaneous and raw tobacco flavors from the tobacco leaves.

Cigarette tobacco needs to be added with flavors and various additives, such as accelerants, so once lit, it will burn to the end.

4. The difference in production process.

Most of the processes of cigar smoking need to be completed manually, and high-quality cigars are grown from tobacco leaves to rolled into cigars, with zero chemical additives, even if the binder is used in the rolling process, it is also made of pure natural vegetable gum. Cigarettes are generally mass-produced using machine assembly lines, and some chemical ingredients are added during the production process.

Difference Between Cigar and Cigarette: Different in Volume; The processing method is different; Tobacco materials are different; The smoking time is different; **Different; Storage.

The volume is different

Cigarettes are smaller in size and cigars are larger.

The processing method is different;

Cigarettes are roasted and processed, while cigars are fermented and dried tobacco leaves.

Tobacco materials are different;

Cigarettes are refined and shredded and wrapped in paper rolls, and cigars are rolled directly from dried tobacco leaves.

The smoking time is different;

Cigars last much longer than cigarettes. Cigarettes will burn on their own if they are lit and not smoked, and if they are not smoked for about three minutes after they are lit, they will go out on their own.

**Different;

Cigarettes are cheaper than cigars, and a brand of cigars** is even higher than a pack of cigarettes**.

Storage.

The big difference between cigarettes and cigars is that cigars taste better and better at the right temperature and humidity, and usually a cigar that has been stored for three to four years can bring out the best in tobacco aroma.

There are many things that go into preserving cigars, and the quality of cigars will change over time, generally for the birth period, the sick period, the first ripening period, the first window period, the second ripening period, the second window period, the third ripening period, and the dead period. After a long time, cigarettes will only cause mold, and the taste will not improve.

1. Different raw materials

Cigar leaves require two or more fermentation processes, and the most important difference between cigars and regular cigarettes is that cigars are absolutely natural, do not add any chemicals, and have the lowest nicotine content of any tobacco at less than 2%.

2. The difference in production time:

The manufacture of cigars is also very particular, from planting to ripening of cigars, tobacco farmers take care of each leaf an average of 150 times, from planting to finished products must take five to six years, in the middle of which need to be harvested, fermented, aged for about one year, before manufacturing.

3. Cigars are healthier in different ways to enjoy:

Cigarettes are generally smoked through the lungs, but at the same time, cigarettes contain a large number of harmful components.

The biggest difference between cigars and cigarettes is that after a long time, cigarettes will not only become moldy, but also will not improve their taste; However, cigars can be stored for a long time at the right temperature and humidity. A cigar that has been in the collection for three or four years can be used to the fullest in tobacco aromas. A freshly made Cuban cigar tastes like the fire of youth, and the flavor will gradually mellow over time.

It is equal to the gap between the beautiful and the ugly and the mood of tasting.

Personally, I think cigars are more harmful than cigarettes.
