Q & A: Flavor Profile According to Size
Q.
If a cigar blend uses the same tobacco, why do different sizes in the same line have different tastes?

A.
Cigars of the same brand and blend can taste different according to size. It is important to understand that the wrapper is the key factor to the flavor of a cigar (the filler mostly contributes to the body). This idea leads to the thought that since a cigar is smaller, the wrapper adds more flavor and characteristic to the cigar because there is less filler in proportion to the wrapper leaf. However, a good cigar maker blends cigars to taste the same, regardless of size.
