What is Tooth?
Tooth refers to the small, raised bumps or grains found on the surface of some cigar wrappers, particularly those made from thicker, oilier tobacco leaves like Maduro or Corojo. These bumps are caused by natural oils in the leaf and are often seen as a sign of a high-quality wrapper. Toothy wrappers tend to produce a richer, more flavorful smoking experience, as the oils contribute to the cigar's overall taste and aroma. A wrapper with a good amount of tooth is often favored by cigar connoisseurs for its texture and flavor-enhancing qualities.
