This is what truly makes cigars amazing imho. First, they are all rolled by hand so skillfully that thousands upon thousands of cigars are exactly the same size, shape, etc. Secondly, such a precise blend is used; only the right percentage of certain tobacco leaves put together that make the blend-and the thousands of cigars are almost exactly the same! It was this awe and wonder that got me into this hobby. Sometimes we forget to appreciate the time, effort and skill it takes to make a literal art piece.
