All about cigars
There are many perceptions about how to determine the strength of a cigar. Often people look at the wrapper for the answer. This method is misleading.
Wrappers are only about 1% of the total content of the cigar, so a dark wrapper will have little, if any effect, on the strength of the cigar.
So how can you tell the strength of a cigar without lighting it? Well, its in the name! Cuban Brands are designed with their own particular flavours and strengths, with the variety of leaves from different tobacco plants making up their individual characteristics.
