If you're from Russia you should still easily be able to buy Cuban cigars exported over there, I think. Visitors from America to Cuba can buy a very limited number to bring back home but they are the best. It's the soil there that does it. Just like Kona coffee is the very best. It's the volcanic soil there in that case.

[@extremesheepdawg6379]

First time I have seen full leaf fillers. Usually you find long or short cut shredded tobacco in the filler. Then a binder leaf that is usually different from the fillers and finally a wrapper leaf different from all of the others used. Every layer is used to add something to the flavor. By shredding the fillers and mixing them you get a more consistent flavor throughout the smoke. The roll is also more consistent if done properly. I am by no means saying that this man is doing it wrong: just different. They look good and I would like to try one. I am more of a light to mid bodied cigar smoker. Like Rocky Patel and Drew Estate type smokes. Likeing the hand crafting. The workmanship is amazing. Thanks for showing us how it is done.

[@BlissCigarCo]

Short/shredded filler is not used in premium hand-rolled cigars; only long-filler is. Somewhere you got some misinformation about it. Open up your Rockies and DEs and you will only find long-filler, unless perhaps they also have some low-end machine-made offerings.

[@gasparliboreiro4572]

does the binder and wrapper leafs have to be some specific type? or the binder could be ligero seco or whatever

Can be whatever, so long as you can get it into condition to bind with--flexible and strong, with good burnability.

Because I'm showing the whole process. Normally there would be time--hours, days, months--before someone cut the head off to smoke it. In the meantime the head's on there to reduce airflow to keep the filler moist.
