tschreier is correct. -----mixed filler= what is swept up from the floor.---smoke and spit.-----there are plenty of cheap cigars that are long leaf, that are about $1.00 a cigar, and that are not mistakes. the ci knockoffs are usually very good. i just bought here at auction, some cigars made in indonesia. i occassionally will unwrap a cigar from a new box to see what size leaves are being used and has the cigar been rolled by someone who both knows how and cares enough to do it correctly. a lot of the savings for the makers of cheaper cigars is the wrapper. it's usually coarser and harsher. i have compared the binder to a better cigar with the wrapper from a cheaper cigar and found the binder was a better cut of the leaf than the wrapper on the cheaper cigar.
