Three Basic Elements in any Cigar
08 Apr, 2009- There are three basic elements in any cigar: the filler, binder and wrapper leaves that are woven together by the skilled hands of the torcedor. But no matter how good the maker, if the leaves are not in harmony, the cigar is worthless.
- That’s the point that C.A.O. President Tim Ozgener will be making on the new C.A.O. "eLements" tour that will debut next Tuesday at Tobacco Junction in Tyler, Texas. The program will feature a "deconstructed tasting" that gives an insight into the newest C.A.O. blend, the Lx2.
- Introduced last year, the Lx2 – "ligero times two" – features two types of ligero leaves in a three-nation blend of Nicaraguan, Honduran and Dominican tobaccos in three sizes. It’s a full-bodied cigar that was one of the highlights of last year’s International Premium Cigar & Pipe Retailers Association convention and trade show.
- "The elements event will provide a very hands-on experience as to what goes into blending a particular cigar," notes Ozgener. "We break down the different ligero tobaccos that are utilized in the Lx2 blend into three individual ‘puros’ (cigars composed entirely of one type of tobacco), smoking each one on its own and cleansing the palate between cigars. In the end, we smoke an Lx2 Rob so that the participant can literally taste how all three tobaccos marry together in order to create the final desired flavor."
