The outer and inner tobacco leaves used to roll cigars are different. Outsourcing tobacco leaves should choose varieties with thin leaves, big oil and luster, so that cigars will look beautiful and burn well. The inner layer of cigar is divided into Ligero, Secco and Volado, which are the parts that produce intoxication, fragrance and combustion. Ligero is the soul of cigars, and 50% of the taste of cigars depends on it.
Different parts of tobacco usually come from different producing areas. Although Cohiba is the best cigar in Cuba, Castro's cigars are not Cohiba, but they are also produced by the same factory. However, the tobacco leaves are personally selected by Mr. Arelino Larry, fermented separately and stored separately. The workers who roll cigars work under special protection, which can be called "cigars in cigars" and have a very mellow taste. The six most famous cigar varieties of Cohiba are Lanceros, Espléndido, Corona Especial, Robusto Exquisito and Panetela. Brazilian cigars enjoy the best reputation in Europe, and the most popular cigars are produced by Kaufmanns Dannemann. In just a few decades, Dannaman has become the largest tobacco distributor in Bahia, Brazil, and one of the most famous Brazilian cigar distributors in the world. Now it has become a giant in the cigar industry, with its own cigar production plants in Brazil, Europe, Indonesia, Africa, Central America and other places, and its marketing business is all over the world.
The founder of Dannaman cigar is a German businessman-Dannaman. He came to Brazil in the second half of the19th century, and then established his professional kingdom here and spent the rest of his life. 1873, danaman set up danaman tobacco company ambitiously.
The soil and rain in Bahia, Brazil gave birth to the alcohol and taste of Danemans cigars. In the history of Danemans's development, countless legends add luster to this world-famous brand. As early as 1883, Dom Pedro, the king of Brazil, personally went out and named Dannaman "the royal cigar manufacturer". From 65438 to 0889, Dannaman became the mayor of San Felize, and he built the first railway suspension bridge in Brazil. After 1950, the competition of cigar manufacturing in Brazil became increasingly fierce, but most farmers who grow tobacco leaves are willing to give their tobacco leaves to Danaman Company because they are happy to see that their tobacco leaves can be sold all over the world.
In addition to producing top-class cigars, Dynaman Tobacco also creatively developed short-core leaf machine-made cigars comparable to top-class cigars. This cheap and fine cigar meets the requirements of more cigar lovers. Dannaman cigars are divided into two categories: one is wrapped tobacco leaves in Brazil, and the other is wrapped tobacco leaves in Sumatra. It is this outermost wrapped tobacco leaf that lays the unique taste of cigars. Brazilian tobacco leaves are rich in color and flavor, and keep mellow flavor. The foreskin tobacco produced in Sumatra Island is more flexible and soft, and the tobacco leaves are elegant and delicious, with a slightly nutty taste.
Dana Mann's cigars are different from other cheap mechanism cigars. Like hand-rolled cigars, the cigarette wrapping of this short-core cigar is not a taboo paper, but a material made of specially crushed tobacco leaves and plant-based adhesives. Machine-made cigars are generally tried by novice and salaried cigar lovers, but Danaman's small cigars have become real substitutes for big cigars with various novel and fashionable varieties. For example, the sweetness of Dannaman is a combination of noble and fragrant tobacco and another traditional pleasure-cognac. This fusion of emotional appeal makes it popular everywhere.
Cigar smokers all know that the value of cigars lies not only in the taste, but also in giving people a feeling of life. Danaman's products are favored by cigar lovers because of their pure taste. Pana lito is the smallest cigar in Danemans, suitable for any occasion. Espada has a strong flavor and is most suitable for eating after meals. Veracruz series is the largest branch of Danemans cigars. It is made of the finest slender extra-large tobacco leaves with elegant smell and can be preserved for a long time. If you enjoy it after dinner, it is incomparable. Dannaman's other series of products, such as Minor Con Filtro, Speciale and Imperial, are also highly praised for their unique flavor. Jose Castela, a famous Cuban cigarette manufacturer, won the Guinness World Record certificate for rolling out a 45.38-meter-long cigar on the 6th. This is the fourth time that he has set the world's longest cigar record. Castela once introduced 1 1.04m, 14.8m and 20.4 1m cigars, which set a Guinness World Record every time. Castela, who is in his 60s, joked that he would make persistent efforts to launch a 10,000-meter-long cigar.
According to reports, Castela 14 years old began to study art, and his skill in lighting cigarettes was superb. His clients include celebrities such as the Saudi prince. The 45.38-meter-long cigar that set a new record was made by him in 200 1 year, but it was only recognized by Guinness World Records. 20 1 1 On April 25th, 2008, Jose Castelar made a 70-meter-long cigar in the capital Havana, trying to break the Guinness Book of Records for a 45-meter-long cigar. According to the Daily Telegraph, some tourists found that in a photo taken by 1948 of Winston Churchill, a famous British prime minister, Churchill had a V-shaped hand symbolizing victory with a cigar in his mouth. A copy of this photo was hung at the entrance of a museum in London before, but the cigar in the photo is missing. I don't know who "lost" the cigar, because both the museum and Churchill family members said they didn't tamper with the picture.
Churchill, a man of the hour in history and former British Prime Minister, likes to smoke cigars. He smokes cigars in almost all historical pictures, so cigars are considered as his symbol. In this photo outside the museum, Churchill smoked a cigar and gestured for victory. However, in other exhibition areas of the museum, the photos of Churchill smoking are intact.
It is said that Churchill smoked cigars with a total length of 46km and a total weight of 3000kg in his life, making him the holder of the Guinness World Cigar Smoking Record. The British media joked that it may be that the anti-smoking group removed the poster in the middle of the night and retouched the picture with ps, forcing historical figures to quit smoking. This is a very new and effective method, which can better urge people to quit smoking. Alejandro robaina, Cuba's "cigar king", died at his home near Pinar del Rio on April 7th, 20 10, and alejandro robaina, Cuba's "cigar king", just celebrated his birthday on March 20th. Robaina, known as the legend of Cuban cigar industry, was once the only tobacco farmer who owned cigars named after himself.
Influenced by family since childhood
Robaina was born on March 20th, 2009. 1965438. In an interview with the electronic magazine Contemporary Cuba, he said, "I was born a tobacco farmer."
Robaina's family began to grow tobacco from 1845. Influenced by his family, he was interested in tobacco since he was a child. At the age of 9, Robaina secretly smoked his father's cigar. At the age of 10, he went to work with his family.
Approachable before his death
Talking about the secret of success, Robaina said that we should attach equal importance to responsibility and diligence.
Cigars produced by a farm in Robaina became famous gradually, and he became the object of fashion and trend. Numerous media invited him to be interviewed, and even pop stars asked him for his autograph.
Reuters 17 quoted Robaina's former friend Hernandez as saying that cigar lovers from all over the world have visited Robaina's farm for many years. Until he was seriously ill, he would invite strangers to his house to chat with them.
"He once told me that he is a millionaire because he has 654.38+0 million friends all over the world. He is broad-minded and can treat everyone equally. " Hernandez said.
A self-proclaimed humble farmer
Robaina doesn't care about fame and fortune. He once said, "It's normal if my job makes me one of the most elegant men. When I was young, continuous shooting didn't have any money for a photo ... To be honest, I feel most relaxed when I get along with simple people. "
"I want to live to the age of 120, because I have a big family and so many friends, so I want to live longer and see how everyone changes."
In recent years, Robaina has taught children how to grow tobacco. When asked in what capacity he wanted to be remembered, Robaina once said, "I am me, a humble farmer." Cigars, like other natural products, need careful care. They should be stored in an environment with suitable temperature and humidity. 16℃-20℃ and 65%-70% relative humidity are ideal, but it is difficult to achieve, especially in rooms with air conditioning or central heating. But at least you should put cigars in a sealed cabinet or box, away from heat sources, and preferably in the coolest place at home. Remember to collect cigars and boxes together. Cedar boxes are good for cigar preservation. When storing, you can put a wet sponge in the cupboard, or sprinkle some water in the plastic bag first, and then put the whole box of cigars in it to prevent the water from evaporating. If you decide to put a wet sponge or a glass of water in your bag to adjust the humidity, remember not to get too close to the cigar. Plastic bags and cigar boxes do not need sealed air circulation.
You should buy a small humidifier from a cigar dealer. It comes in all shapes and sizes, from the size of a medicine box to a thin plastic strip. Take out one or two cigars to make room, then put the humidifier in the cigar box, and then put the wet sponge or chalk in the box to moisturize (please check it once a month to prevent the sponge from drying up). The same is true of keeping cigars in metal pipes.
Many importers and cigar dealers use thick sealable plastic bags to send cigars to their main customers. This method is very useful, especially when traveling. You can put a wet sponge or sprinkle some water in your bag, and then put the cigar box in your bag.
Cigars kept in a warm climate will breed some insects, especially tobacco insects. Warm environment is easy for eggs to hatch, so don't store cigars in sunny or sea breeze. When stored at low temperature, the humidity should be increased accordingly.
Humidifying boxes are usually made of walnut, mahogany, rosewood and other wood (of course, there are plexiglass materials), with different shapes and higher prices. If you smoke cigars often, it is worth buying. When purchasing, make sure that the thick cover of the moisturizing box can be closed tightly, and there should be a hygrometer in the box to measure the humidity. The hygrometer only measures humidity, not temperature, so find an empty place to put the thermometer in the box. It is better to have a compartment in the moisturizing box. Besides storing cigars of different sizes separately, their positions can also be changed. The price of a humidifier ranges from $200 to $2,000, but for a very advanced humidifier, part of its value lies in its decorative function. For example, Viscount Lin Le, the nephew of Queen Elizabeth and a box manufacturer, has introduced many exquisite hand-made moisturizing boxes with a price of $2,000 through Dunhill Road. In fact, a plexiglass moisturizing box with a retail price of less than $200 is enough. There are many boxes with poor moisturizing effect or inconvenient operation on the market, so you should choose carefully.
For travelers, it is best to choose a wooden or leather moisturizing box. David's company is the first to launch a series of briefcases in the market, which are equipped with compartments for storing cigars and attached with moisturizing boxes. There are many pocket cigar boxes on the market now, among which leather is the best. The most convenient is the telescopic "telescope" hard box, which can hold cigars big or small. Some pocket cigar boxes even have micro humidification devices. If you are not short of all these, there are all kinds of equipment available for collection in the market, such as copper, silver or gold-inlaid cigar pipes, luxury lighters, silver matchboxes and so on. Oscar Basulto, Chairman of the Organizing Committee of Havana Cigar Festival in Cuba, said on October 24th that more than 1000 cigar lovers and professionals had confirmed their attendance before the 13 Havana Cigar Project held on February 24th and 25th.
