Frequently Asked Question by Cigar Aficionados

What is the difference between Maduro and Oscuro?

Many smokers think that Maduro means dark, but that is not true. Maduro actually means “ripe”, due to the fermentation process. That process results in a leaf that can be dark or perhaps not, but the tobacco typically goes through an extended fermentation and aging process. Oscuro, on the other hand, means “dark”. The tobacco is typically taken from the top of the plant and undergoes a more normal fermentation, but the stronger sun exposure gives it a more robust flavor profile.

In most cases, Oscuro will tend to be more aggressively flavored and stronger in nicotine strength.

Does the size of the cigar make a difference is flavor and/or strength?

Yes, it can make a big difference in what you might experience. Since the wrapper leaf provides the bulk of flavor to the cigar, the smaller the ring gauge, the more it will influence the flavor. Conversely, the larger a cigar gets, the more the filler will be a factor. So if a particular cigar line offers a broad range of sizes, it’s likely that you will see a noticeable difference between those sizes. Some people will prefer the smaller sizes, while others will lean toward the larger ones depending on personal preference.

What is the difference between a cigarillo and a “little cigar”?

A “little cigar” is generally just a smaller size of a premium handmade cigar. They are generally about 4” long with a 32 to 34 ring gauge. On the other hand, cigarillos are mass produced “cigars” made with chopped up inexpensive tobacco and are machine made with wrappers that are a composite of tobacco and paper, or tobacco of unspecified origin. Some come with filters that put them more in the realm of cigarettes and many are also artificially flavored.

There is a world of difference between the two, which is why they should never be lumped together by regulators.

Can I store my flavored cigars with my regular ones?

Generally, yes, as long as you don’t have a lot of the flavored ones, and are not planning to store them together for a long period of time. Flavor transference normally doesn’t happen short term, but it’s a good reason to keep the cellophane on your cigars.
