Parts of a Cigar


Cap: The cap is the rounded portion where you would cut the cigar to smoke it.

Head: If we hold the cigar with the head downwards, the head is the upper third.

Body: If we hold the cigar with the head downwards, the body is the third in the middle.

Foot: If we hold the cigar with the head downwards, the foot is the lower third.

Barril: The barril itself is a cigar, comprised of three parts: head, body and foot.

Caliber: Refers to the thickness of a cigar or the ring of the cigar.

Tuck: The “open” part of a cigar which you light to smoke.

Wrapper: The wrapper is the outer sheet of a cigar, it is the part we see. The wrapper influences the aesthetics of a cigar so that it has a good finish.

Binder: The binder is the first sheet that surrounds the filler. It is located between the wrapper and the filler.

Filler: The inner and most important part of the cigar. From the mix of leaves that form the filler is what depends the flavor and aroma of the cigar.
