Tampa Cigar Store, Rodriguez & Menendez, Explains the Art of Hand Rolling

TAMPA, Fla. - May 20, 2014 - PRLog -- The online cigar store, Rodriguez & Menendez, talks about the importance of hand rolling cigars and how their business crafts each individual piece. Tobacco rolling requires precision and accuracy to preserve the freshness and quality of the extract. There are hundreds of types of cigars, each ranging in flavor, boldness and complexity, but the rolling process remains uniform throughout.

Mass-produced cigars tend to be rolled too quickly and are often completed by machines rather than people. The Tampa cigar professionals understand the quality that cigar smokers expect from their brand, which is why they take the time to meticulously roll one cigar at a time.

How Cigars Are Rolled
All cigars are comprised of three basic components: the filler, the binder and the wrapper. The filler consists of the specific tobacco leaves (in whole form). The filler's strength differs with regards to which part of the plant the tobacco leaves are extracted. Rodriguez & Menendez sell cigars that are comprised of an assortment of fillers, ranging from strong to dry to strong and dry.

The binder is the leaf the filler is rolled inside. Once the filler has been carefully bundled, the binder is put securely in place. The wrapper is the final and outermost part of the cigar and has long been considered the most important.

According to Mike Casale, General Manager of Rodriguez & Menendez, "The texture of the wrapper is a crucial element for many cigar enthusiasts, and it is greatly affected by how it is grown. Those grown in the sun produce a velvety feel, while those produced in shade tend to be oilier to the touch."
