3. Tobacco is an
agricultural
product
processed from
the fresh leaves
of plants in
genus Nicotiana

4.  Virginia : Most popular type of tobacco. It is used in pipe tobacco today .. Virginia is the
mildest of all blending tobacco and has the highest level of natural dextrose sugar, which
basically gives it a light sweet taste
 Burley : Tobacco is the next most popular tobacco for pipe tobacco blending. It contains
almost no sugar, which gives a much dryer and fuller aroma than Virginia. Burley is used in
many aromatic blends because it absorbs the flavorings ,
 Spice tobacco : is not actually one type of tobacco but rather a broad variety of more
special types, used in small amount to create an interesting blends.. These would include
Latakia, Perique and Kentucky among others ..
 Oriental : A variety of tobacco , grown in turkey, the Balkans and Russia. The best known
types are Izmir , sum sun , yedidje , Caveela and Bursa. A common characteristic is dusty ,
dry and sometime slightly sour aroma. Some of them are also used in “erotic” cigarettes
from Egypt and other Arab Countries.
 Latakia :is the result of a curing process involving fire curing the leaves over controlled
fires of aromatic woods and fragrant herbs. It sis probably the most well known spice
tobacco , and mainly growth in Cyprus and northern Syria.
 Perique : is a red burley type of tobacco , grown and processed in St. James , Louisiana
near New Orleans. Perique is a rare, slow burning strong-tasting tobacco. Production is
small so its value is quite high.
 Kentucky : This is actually a specially treated burley tobacco .Unlike Burley Kentucky is fire
cured. Its aroma is not heavy as with Latakia but very aromatic and antique. The nicotine
content tends to be rather high and therefore it is used in limited amounts.
 Havana : Cuban and other Cigar tobacco are used in a limited range of Virginia blends and
mixtures.
 Cavendish : is more a method to treat tobacco than a type of tobacco. English Cavendish
uses a dark flue or fire cured Virginia, which is steamed and then stored under pressure to
permit it to cure and ferment for several days to several weeks. When done well this
tobacco is excellent. Cavendish can be produced out of any tobacco type.

9. Three Parts
Filler
Binder
Wrapper

10.  Filler is the tobacco
that makes up the
heart of the cigar
and gives it its
bulk
 Broken or crushed
leaves which forms
the centre of cigar .
 It is the source of
rich flavors and
aromas

11.  Binder is the tobacco
leaf that holds the filler
in place. It defines the
shape of the cigar and
the smoking quality.
 Small leaves are bound
around the filler and a
special type of glue is used
to bind these leaves in
cigar
 Filler + Binder is known
as BUNCH

12.  Only the very best leaves are used for
this purpose.
 Big leaves that are soft & elastic
wrapped to give the final smooth
surface.
 Thin leaf that forms the outer surface of
the cigar.
 It stands as the ultimate symbol of the
cigar’s perfection.
 Good flavour and an even colour is a must
for the wrapper as it contributes maximum
to the flavour of the cigar.
 The end of the leaf forms the tip of the cigar
and only this tip is stuck by means of a
vegetable gum, which is odourless and
tasteless. The vegetable gum is the only
other substance used apart from tobacco
leaves in the production of cigar.
 The wrapper is merely an outer layer
and has little bearing on a cigar’s
flavor

25.  A cigar display is like jewellery —
One should capture the imagination
of the customer by displaying a
range of cigars with beauty in a
humidor.
 Brush the cigars as it always
improves the appearance of the
cigars and removes the Bloom and
Dust
 Remove one cigar from the top layer
of cigar Box to avoid damage in leaf,
in case tightly packed
 Offer the customer the open box to
appreciate the aroma of the cigar.
 The connoisseur should normally be
asked to point the cigar of his/her
choice rather than be permitted to
shuffle them around, which risks
damage to the stock
 Offer the Connoisseur the cigar in
sufficient light

26.  Cigars should be stored at
optimum temperature of 16
to 18 degrees Centigrade &
Relative Humidity of 75% to
80% TO RETAIN FRESHNESS
 Cigar should be stored in
Humidor box.
 Humidor box is made up of
Cedar Wood as cedar wood is
porous in nature which allows
to maintain the relatively
humidity and moisture.
 Cigars are arranged according
to nuances of shade. The
darkest cigar is placed on the
left of the humidor box, and
the lightest is on the right
HUMIDOR

27.  The humidor should be looked after
carefully and the condition of the cigars
within the Humidor should be checked
regularly
 The moisture source is the Oasis located
inside the cigar tray. When necessary
this should be removed and damped with
Distilled or Himalayan water for about 10
seconds, then kept face upwards until the
surface water is absorbed, wiped dry and
replaced
 Do not use Tap water for wetting the
moisture source for the cigars. The
regularity with which you need to perform
this task will vary with the weather, but
the surest guide is the cigars themselves.
In general this should be done everyday
 It is essential that one member of staff is
made responsible for the humidor. He or
she must inspect it each day, not only to
check condition but also to ensure that
the humidor is filled with cigars
 Nothing destroys a sale faster than
presenting the humidor with a display of
dry, unraveled, over humidified or

29. Lacioderma- This beetle infects the cigars if
they are stored in dark and damp places

30. Natural Blemishes sometimes
found on the Wrapper Leaf
Bloom
May appear on the outside
of the cigars, as they are a
constantly breathing
product. Simply brush it off
and put them back on sale
Green Patches
Are formed when a patch of
dew remains on the leaf
during the air curing process,
preventing oxidization
whereby the leaf assumes a
golden brown color
White Spots
Are formed when there is a tiny
gap in the Muslin Cloth which
covers the Corojo plants in the
field, and the sun penetrates
through onto the dew covered
leaf, scorching a tiny white mark

31.  Construction - How well is the cigar made? How does
it feel to the touch? With a firm, but soft grip feel it
from end to end. Does it feel consistent all the way
through? Are there any hard or soft spots? A cigar that
is too hard, too soft, or inconsistent will not draw
properly.
 Condition - Cigars should be well conditioned before
smoking. Cigars should be aged for several months to
several years at the proper humidity. A dry cigar will
burn hot, fast and can taste harsh. A damp cigar will
be hard to light and can be hard to draw.
 Causality (cause and effect) - How does the cigar
taste? How does the cigar make you feel? Does the
cigar build in taste, flavor and complexity as it burns?
Or is it the same all the way through? Do you feel
relaxed and calm after finishing it?

33. The cigar should be cut half way through the cap using a cigar cutter or
cigar scissors and should not be cut beneath the cap or the wrapper will
start to unwind
Do not pierce a hole in the cigar it creates a tar
Cutting should take place at the table and executed with confidence

34. A good cut allow a cigar to
draw properly. The cut should
be smaller than the diameter
of the cigar and can be made
in the following ways.
Guillotine Cut : A straight
cut across the head using a
single or a double blade
guillotine cigar cutter, which
leaves a clean cut with no
ragged edges. This is the most
practical.
V Cut : A V – shaped cut into
the head using a notch cutter,
which may leave ragged
edges, not adequate for larger
gauges and tapered ends.
V CUT

35. • A cigar should be lit with a
butane gas lighter or an
ordinary long matchstick.
• Cigars can also be lit with the
thin cedar linings which can
be made from the cedar sheet
available in the cigar box.
• The authentic way of lighting
a cigar is to place a candle in
the trolley that has the
humidor, light the cedar
lining then carry out the
complete ceremony of
Lighting a Cigar

36. For lighting the cigar, hold the face of the
cigar at 90 angle to the flames and rotate
it. From time to time remove it from the
flame and wave it in the air. Within a
minute the cigar will be lit and ready to
offer. Do not offer to light the cigar unless
asked We do not inhale the smoke of cigars
but taste it like a wine .Do not pick up the
extinguished cigar from the ashtray until asked
Do not stub a cigar when finished smoking, let

37. • It is customary for a cigar to have
a cigar band, although few cigars
brands do not have them.
• The cigar band appeared as a
novelty item in the 19th century,
so that aristocratic gentlemen,
who enjoyed the pleasure of
smoking, could hold the cigar
without staining the gloves
customarily worn at the time.
• The bands then were
subsequently used to highlight
and distinguish the cigar brand.
• These bands have now become
more sophisticated and true
works of art as well as collection
pieces.

38.  Never remove the band from the cigar since
it is tightly secured & its removal might
damage the wrapper.
 In case the guest wishes to remove the
band, suggest he smokes 3/4th of the cigar
for it to become soft for removal without
damaging the wrapper.

40. A cigarette (French "small cigar",
from cigar + -ette ) is a product
consumed through smoking and
manufactured out of cured and finely cut
tobacco leaves and reconstituted tobacco,
often combined with other additives, then
rolled or stuffed into a paper-wrapped
cylinder (generally less than 120 mm in
length and 10 mm in diameter).
The cigarette is ignited at one end and
allowed to smoulder for the purpose of
inhalation of its smoke from the other
(usually filtered) end, which is inserted in
the mouth. They are sometimes smoked
with a cigarette holder. The term cigarette,
as commonly used, refers to a tobacco
cigarette but can apply to similar devices
containing other herbs, such as cannabis.

41. A cigarette is distinguished
from a cigar by its smaller
size, use of processed leaf,
and paper wrapping, which
is usually white, though
other colors are available.
Cigars are typically
composed entirely of whole-
leaf tobacco

42. Anatomy of a cigarette.

43.  Virginia Cigarettes : These are considered to
be the best and can be smoked at any time of
the day .
 Turkish Cigarettes : Turkey produces the best
aromatic and most expensive cigarettes in the
world.
 Egyptian Cigarettes : These cigarettes are best
appreciated after meals since they are strong.
In general a smoker should choose a brand that
soothes the taste and does not irritates the
throat and then stick to it.

45. Cigarettes should be passed along with sorbet courses
and also when liqueurs are served along with coffee. A
packet of cigarette must never be carried by hand to a
customer, but placed on salver or service trays. The
outside wrapper is opened, the inside wrap pilled out,
and one or two cigarettes are tapped out, not pulled out,
and served along with a hotel matchbox.
The waiter should the stand by with a matchbox ready to
light a cigarette. The waiter should strike the match away
from the guest and hold the flame only. Before
extinguishing the match the waiter must be sure that the
cigarette is well lit. The used match should not be
disposed of in the guest ashtray. The waiter clear the
ashtray very frequently, preferably after every butt .
