I have what is probably a stupid question but I am going to ask it anyway. If a cigar has "mixed fillers" that means that it has bits and pieces of tobacco in the filler right?

thanks

I believe that "bits and pieces" are more commonly called "short filler." There are often different tobaccos in long filler cigars, but I think "mixed filler" does refer to short filler which are machine made.

Ok...

Been sitting here for a while now trying to decide which to use of the AMPLE opportunities Sketcha's last post offers a smart ass like me. "Bits and Pieces" "short filler". But alas, I just cant make up my mind.

But by all means feel free to offer your suggestions!!!

Oh yes. On a more LITERAL take, I do believe he, Sketcha, is correct.

Geeze guys ... all 'mixed filler' means ...

... is that the cigar has a combination of 'long and short' fillers.

I started out by saying that it was a stupid question.

Well what the hell do we know.

Thanks, Slim. We've been summarily "schooled." Sound to me like it wasn't a "stupid question" after all.

BTW, Tim with a name like "BeatDragon," I'd say you'd be livin' in one a' them there glass houses.
