Cigar Desection

[Blak Smyth]

Has anybody ever dissected a cigar to see how it was made or what it contains? It may be a sin and seem disrespectful to some, however after I let my cigar burn out last night my curiousity got the best of me.
This cigar is a Nub 460 Maduro. I was not going to nub this ciagar down because I was already a bit light headed. I would have done a better job if I had intended to post pics.

The Nub was a great smoke.
Very rich thick smoke, nice flavors. Concstruction was nice and solid. Prelight smell was great.
I tasted some woody flavors and some chocolates and coffee. I was drinking a Frappacino so who knows how much that influenced what the cigar was offering.
A bit too strong for me though (not with flavor but with nicotene).

During dissection:
I was surprised with the way the leaves were folded as well as the the different colors. I was really surprised to find two large stems inside (Shown on the top edge of the ashtray in the pic).
