What It Is

We all know that Cuban cigars are amazing. In fact nothing comes close to the beauty that is the Cuban cigar. However, their are still certain things that we need to watch for especially because their are so many imitations. Fake cigars aside, kindly stop comparing Cuban cigars to machine rolled cigars - their is a huge difference. Machine rolled cigars are used by some people but Cuban cigar smokers don’t even look at them.

So why the confusion? I mean their are Cuban cigars that are machine made but the quality is nothing that comes from a nice hand rolled Robusto or something. You can try it, but you can’t deny it as my great grandpa use to say. Yeah he later passed away of colon cancer but that was totally unrelated. My point is they are two completely different things.

Man made construction of Cuban cigars is an art on it’s own. If you watch a cigar roller roll a cigar, it will blow your mind. As for machine made cigars, I can have a cigar machine at home that could be pumping machine made cigars by the thousands like a crappy cigarette. Another major difference between a machine made cheap cigar and an authentic hand rolled Cuban cigar.

However, machine made cigars are only meant for people who are not Cuban cigar smokers and just want to have the feel of smoking a cigar. Personally, I think that is ridiculous because it has nothing to do with real Cuban cigar taste. Cuban cigars when compared to machine made cigars isn’t a fair comparison at all.

So when anyone compares Cuban cigars and machine made cigars together - it simply grinds my gears. However, the best way to learn is to educate yourself and trying both of them out yourself. If you want to smoke Cuban cigars, smoke Cuban cigars, not machine rolled cigars even if they are from Cuba. Yes they might be the best machine rolled cigars in the world, but they are still nothing compared to a Cuban cigar.
