Machine made cigars are not that cool
When you think of a fine Cuban cigar, you are probably thinking of something hand rolled and created with the most precision and care. Yet their are Cuban cigars that are machine rolled and the are called cigarillos. Basically these are small cigarette size cigars and have shredded tobacco in it rather than the actual Cuban tobacco leaf.
Now I know you are thinking what is wrong with that? Nothing is wrong with it, it’s just nothing compared to a Cuban cigar. Some people think it is a great way of getting into the genre but you know what? It is not that bad either. It all depends on what your preference is. As a Cuban cigar smoker, I stay aware from them.
You just have to ask yourself, and most importantly, try a Cuban cigar first. Since most people get intimidated by the size of an average Cuban cigar, I suggest that you don’t go to crazy with the machine made cigars. They are great but not something that I would completely go for. If I didn’t have any smokes, I would be going for those than and only than.
It’s all about the taste when it comes to Cuban cigars, in particular the Cuban tobacco. So comparing machine made cigars to Cuban cigars should stop immediately. Cuban tobacco is piece of work that has taken thousand of years to perfect and it truly is a blessing if you had a chance to feel it on your palette.
So when anyone compares Cuban cigars and machine made cigars together – it simply grinds my gears. However, the best way to learn is to educate yourself and trying both of them out yourself. If you want to smoke Cuban cigars, smoke Cuban cigars, not machine rolled cigars even if they are from Cuba. Yes they might be the best machine rolled cigars in the world, but they are still nothing compared to a Cuban cigar.
