As you probably know being the hardcore cigar enthusiast that you have become, the binders on a Cuban cigar play a major role in the overall construction of the Cuban cigar. They hold it together like a mother holding it’s first born baby. The binder is the real hero of your Cuban cigar.

The wrapper serves as the out most layer that holds everything together but the binder is the one that holds the magical Cuban tobacco in perfect condition.If you cigar didn’t have a binder on it that was properly rolled than the tobacco in it will simply fall off.

These wrappers are usually oily and if they are not, your Cuban cigars are too dry. If the binder is the chassis that holds the ‘tobacco muscle’, than the wrapper is the beautiful exterior of your ‘Lamborghini’ cigar. Yes I know that analogy makes sense now doesn’t it.

“Torecdores” or Cuban cigar rollers are well respected individuals and rightfully so. Rolling Cuban cigars is an art form that only the truly gifted can master. When you get a chance to go to Cuba, you must drop by at a Havana factory and see the miracle for yourself. It is simply mind blowing the sophistication behind each single Cuban cigar.

It is down right impossible to make a ‘good’ cigar without a binder. That is why when people try Cuban cigars, they are just so overwhelmed by the consistency. Cuban cigars are consistent throughout for a reason because it is a tradition that every one follows in Cuban and has been for a long time.
