A cigar is made of rolled up tobacco. Much like a cigarette but large and does not contain additives. There are two kinds of cigars: machine-made cigars and hand-rolled cigars. All cigars contain three kinds of tobacco: filler, binder and wrapper. A machine-made cigar is made very much like a cigarette. The filler tobacco is chopped--if it is cigar tobacco at all (there are several kinds of tobacco, and many of them are completely wrong for making cigars) it is the trimmings from handmade cigar manufacture, or it is leaf not suitable for making premium cigars. The binder tobacco is Homogenized Tobacco Leaf--a sort of paper made from tobacco. The wrapper is leaf tobacco. There are two kinds of hand-rolled cigars: hand-bunched and machine-bunched. A hand-bunched cigar has the filler tobacco (all tobacco is a hand-rolled cigar is long-leaf) bunched into a cigar shape by a worker who then wraps first binder then filler tobacco around it. A machine-bunched cigar has the filler bunched and binder applied by a machine, and the wrapper is applied by hand.
