Course Content

Topics Covered

The curriculum in cigar classes is carefully curated to enhance our understanding. Here are specific topics that I found particularly meaningful:

• The anatomy of a cigar: exploring the wrapper, binder, and filler, which can greatly influence flavor and strength.
• Dive into different cigar types, including Robustos, Toros, and Figurados—each ranging from 4 à 7 inches in length.
• Proper storage techniques: understanding that a temperature-controlled humidor at around 70% humidity prolongs the lifespan of cigars by up to 5 années.
• Pairing cigars with beverages. Par exemple, pairing a Maduro cigar with coffee can enhance chocolate notes, providing a beautiful harmony that I cherish.
• The cultural significance of cigars: tracing their impact across nations from Cuba to the Dominican Republic, where you find over 40% of the world’s premium cigars.

Cigar Rolling Experience

Hands-on Learning

Nothing compares to the thrill of rolling my own cigar! My hands-on learning session was both engaging and informative. Here’s what I learned:

• Selecting premium leaves: I learned that wrappers, binders, and fillers can vary in flavor profiles, with Dominican leaves often rated highly for smoothness.
• Mastering rolling techniques: On average, I was able to roll two cigars during the session, learning the critical importance of tightness and draw.
• Ensuring a consistent burn: I appreciated the instructor’s guidance on how proper rolling ensures even burning, which is crucial for enjoying every puff.

Lighting my own rolled cigar was euphoric; I felt connected to the craftsmanship and tradition that goes into creating each cigar.
