A small circular piece of tobacco wrapper leaf that is used to seal the head of a cigar and secure the wrapper

If I had to guess, it's so the smoker doesn't end up with unwanted pcs. of tobacco in his/her mouth i dunno. Secondly I'd say it's also about appearance, a more appealing finished product....

Because they are kind hearted souls and they don't want the cigars to get cold. Duh!#-o

Not to mention that if the cigar did get cold, it would have a negative effect on the overall experience. Cold that penetrates from the head of the cigar will cause the leaves to shiver inside which would result in a general loosening of the filler and in severe cases cause the binder and possibly the wrapper to unravel.

Cold coming from the foot has not been proven to have the same effect.

I can't believe that T.G didn't post this already.
