Q & A: Cigar Ash

Q.
Why do some cigars have a white ash while others are more black?

A.
There are two schools of thought that need to be considered when talking about the color of a cigar ash. First, the chemical composition of the soil that the tobacco was grown in. Second, the age of the cigar. An ash is more than just the burnt remains of a good cigar, it can tell a story.
