CIGAR TRIVIA

A "stogie" took its moniker from the Pennsylvania manufacturers who used Conestoga or covered wagons to advertise the pungent, powerful and lower-priced cigar.

Paper cigar rings were created to protect 19th-century white-gloved swells from the tobacco residue on less than perfect cigars. They later became a labeling device.

A thousand tobacco seeds can fit inside a thimble.

An experienced roller can produce at least 120 cigars a day, the average is 100.

While tobacco is grown in many parts of the world, Cuba, with its unique soil and climate conditions, is still considered to be the place that produces the best cigars in the world.

Short-filled cigars have pieces of chopped tobacco inside. Long-filled cigars have whole leaves.

Hand-finished means the cigar was likely machine-bunched before a human hand finished the process.

Most of a cigar's taste is determined by the quality of its wrapper leaves.

Tobacco leaves can cost up to US$40 a pound (2.54 kg.)

A cured tobacco leaf is brown because its chlorophyll has been replaced by carotene.
