Handmade Cigars are made with three different types of tobacco: filler, binder, and wrapper. Each is hand picked and graded for quality assurance purposes. The filler generally consists of "long filler", which is the most prized. Whereas the binder consist of more irregular yet quality pieces which bind the filler together. Finally, the wrapper consists of the highest quality tobacco that often varies in type such as Connecticut, maduro, natural, etc. Each cigar is handmade and graded by a train professional.
Machine made cigars, on the other hand, are not as complex. The filler consists of scraps rather than "long filler"; however, these scraps are of quality. The binder can either be made of more tobacco leaves or tobacco paper, (basically paper made from the scraps of tobacco leaves). The wrapper of machine made cigars varies with each brand, they are made with quality tobacco leaves or with tobacco paper.
The beauty of machine-made cigars is the price. You don't have to have deep pockets to enjoy these boys. They also are often times fortified by adding flavorings such as vanilla, wine, or even grape. For the beginner and for those who smoke at work, machine made cigars are hidden treasures. For the aspiring aficionado, it might be best to stick with handmade cigars, which have higher quality ingredients and more complex flavors.
