What is Trim?
Trim refers to the process of removing excess tobacco leaf from the edges of a cigar during its construction. This step ensures that the cigar has a clean, uniform appearance and helps maintain its shape. Trimming is typically done with a small blade or chaveta and is an important part of the finishing process in cigar rolling. Proper trimming contributes to the overall aesthetics and burn quality of the cigar. Well-trimmed cigars are more likely to burn evenly and present a polished, professional appearance.
