Introducing Cigars Insider
Cigar addict in the best possible sense.
Cigar filler leaves deveining, My Father, Esteli
Here, I’ll share my own notes and experiences from visiting major cigar regions like Cuba, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic, plus other New World hotspots. You’ll get a front‑row view of the full cigar journey – starting with tiny seedlings in the soil and ending with finished cigars resting in their boxes – with each step explained in clear, no‑nonsense language.
Topics I’ll cover include:
How different types of tobacco are cultivated and selected
What really happens during curing and fermentation and how it shapes flavour, body, and strength
Rolling styles, factory culture, and how torcedores actually work at the table
How master blenders build a consistent profile year after year
The path from factory floor to your humidor – logistics, distributors, retailers
News, trends, and standout events from the cigar world
If you’ve ever wondered what’s behind the band on your favourite cigar and enjoy seeing the craft close up, this blog is designed for you.
