What is Tapacalvo?
Tapacalvo refers to a cigar wrapper that has been improperly applied, resulting in a bald or exposed spot on the cigar. This flaw can affect the appearance and the smoking experience, as the wrapper plays a crucial role in the flavor and burn of the cigar. Tapacalvo is a rare defect in premium cigars, but it can occasionally occur if the wrapper is not applied smoothly or if the tobacco leaf has imperfections. Cigar manufacturers take great care to avoid tapacalvo, as it can negatively impact the presentation and overall quality of the cigar.
