What is Wrapper?

The Wrapper is the outermost leaf of the cigar, responsible for much of the cigar's appearance and flavor. Wrapper leaves are typically the highest-quality tobacco leaves, chosen for their smooth texture, color, and lack of blemishes. The wrapper contributes significantly to the flavor of the cigar, as it is the part that directly contacts the smoker’s lips. Common types of wrappers include Connecticut Shade, Maduro, Oscuro, and Habano. The wrapper is often considered the most important leaf in the cigar, influencing the overall smoking experience in terms of both flavor and aesthetics.
