Taken from another (...competitor...) website:
"WHAT IS A FUMA?
The word fuma means “to smoke.” A fuma cigar, at its most basic, is one made from leftover tobacco used to make premium, long-filler cigars. In Cuba, these scraps would be taken by rollers and made into cigars that they would take home and smoke. A fuma, essentially, started out as the cigar of the torcedor (roller). The filler could be short or a mix of long and short – what’s known as a “Cuban Sandwich.” While the fuma would traditionally be finished with a pigtail, that’s not necessarily the case today. And, while you’re unlikely to find them for a quarter, fumas are still a bargain, often having a similar flavor to the cigars into which the long-filler went to make a premium smoke."
