Understanding Wrapper Types: How They Affect Your Smoke
When it comes to cigars, the wrapper isn’t just for looks—it’s one of the most important factors influencing flavor, aroma, and burn quality. At Farm House Blends, we take pride in selecting premium wrappers to ensure each cigar delivers a unique and unforgettable experience.
What Is a Cigar Wrapper?
The wrapper is the outermost leaf of a cigar, meticulously chosen for its appearance and flavor. It contributes up to 60% of the overall taste, making it essential to the smoking experience.
