Cigars have been making up an essential part of human life and a great tradition for more than six centuries. Cigar smoking was discovered by Columbus colonists who arrived in the West Indies in 1492 and saw local people puffing on the aromatic plants rolled in tobacco leaves.,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
As the majority of the territory of modern South and Latin America belonged to Spain, and colonists brought the Spanish language to these territories that is why various cigar types often have Spanish names.
Today cigars are manufactured in a large variety of sizes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], types,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], flavors, strength,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], shapes and country of origin.
The tobacco used in the manufacture of cigars is grown and processed in a special way,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which differs from that used in cigarettes. The majority of tobacco blends contain dark air cured tobacco sorts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], such as Manilla and Besuki.
In contrast to cigarettes, major part of cigars is made by hand. Producing cigars is a very difficult process which requires a lot of attention and skills. In addition, the tobacco leaves for hand made cigars are also picked and sorted by hand. After the process of curing the tobacco reaches manufacturing plants where it is processed either automatically or rolled manually.
