Of course the most important part of cigars is the Cuban tobaccos used for fillers. The cigar gets most of its character and flavor from these leaves, and they're grown in full sunlight to ensure the optimum maturity.

The best tobacco for filling a cigar has:

* A high nicotine content.
* Strong and substantial flavors
* An aroma characteristic of the area it was grown in
* Good contents of essential oils and resins
* Low fragility and good elasticity

When you're smoking the cigar, you'll appreciate the bold flavor of a quality Cuban tobacco filling. But your cigar needs to be bound perfectly too for the ultimate smoking experience. This is why the leaves used for binding your cigar are vital.
