Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Are the scents in a raw cigar (before it’s lit) a reliable predictor of the actual aromas we will encounter after we light the Caribbean cigar (mostly air-cured tobacco)?
Correct
You are right. Our data confirms that the raw draw can only provide a prediction of the aromas quality, of the nicotine strength and of the draw performance of the cigar.
Incorrect
Our data confirmed that the raw cigar scents are not a reliable predictor of the actual aromas we will encounter after we light the Caribbean cigar (mostly air-cured tobacco). If you wish to read more, please go to our article.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
A good smoker should be able to judge the strength of a cigar by the dark or light color of its wrapper. Right or wrong?
Correct
You are right! This was correct until the 60’s: Cuban brands were in fact mirroring the wrapper color to the strength of the ligada. Brand characteristics were represented through the different wrapper colors and customers even just asked for a claro or a maduro and they used to get the brand and strength of their like.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Flavor in a cigar is extremely important for me. When I try a new cigar, if I like it, I tend to like all cigars with a similar wrapper grown in the same country.
Correct
We agree! There are many factors playing a role here. A few of them are:
– the flavor of a cigar is not equal to the simple sum of the flavors from each tobacco leaf used in the blend
– soils can be very different within a same growing country
– the wrapper flavor impact on the overall cigar flavor varies a lot, based on the blend and on the cigar shape and size
– last, but not least, the tobacco processing affects the leaves flavorsIncorrect

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
I know about cigars and, when someone is new to this hobby, I always recommend cigars that have a light to medium nicotine strength level. Correct or not?
Correct
Correct. Many people recommend cigars based on their own personal taste, experience and culture. However, this can be more challenging than it seems and, as a result, the trial and error for the newcomer might be even more frustrating.
Incorrect
We respect your choice but don’t believe this necessarily helps the beginner. Someone can be new to premium cigars but not new to the sensory world and might invest a lot of dedication and focus from start. As a minimum, what the person likes to eat should be considered. A lover of spicy food might not appreciate a med-light strength cigar, especially after a meal…
