2) American presidents do love a good cigar. JFK acquired 1,200 Cuban cigars just minutes before he ordered the Cuban Trade Embargo in 1962. Bill Clinton celebrated the rescue of a downed American pilot over Bosnia-Herzegovina by lighting a Romeo Y Julieta.
3) Cigars are made of three types of tobacco leaves – binder, fillers and wrappers. While tobacco is grown all around the world, Cuba, with its unique soil and climate conditions, is still considered the place that produces the best cigars in the world.
4) At the request of his wife, Mark Twain gave up on cigars, leading to a prolonged period of writer’s block. After he resumed smoking his usual 300 cigars a month, he wrote a book in three months. Inspirational.
5) The world famous Cohiba brand was founded in 1966 for Fidel Castro and other Cuban government officials. Cuban cigars in general are expensive – even in Cuba! A single Cohiba can set you back at least 25 $.
6) The phrase, “Close, but no cigar,” which means “almost correct, but not quite,” was formed in the 19th century, when cigars were a popular carnival prize in the US. Ah, those were the days.
7) A skilled and experienced cigar roller is referred to as a torcedor. The best ones are able to produce up to 200 cigars a day. Large cigar factories can produce up to 100 thousand cigars a day.
