Blending is a little like cooking. Each type of tobacco being the individual components of the plate the cook is making. There are

different tobaccos that are availa-ble to the cigar blender. The variety of tobaccos that a plant must keep inventory, increases with the number of brands that is necessary to keep so that the character of the blend is maintained over the years.One element of diffi culty is that unlike liquids, what one blend in cigar making, are leaves and frac-tions, most commonly half leaves. A cigar is the instrument by means of which we’ll receive the prizes for the smoker: ample smoke, this is understandably true, our pass-time

is to smoke and taste the different aromas, taste, and strength. There are different ways make cigars: making it with only tobaccos origi-nating in one and only one country. The cigar made like this will be called a Puro. The cigars that are blended using more than one component or more from a different country will be called, BLENDED. Most cigars being produced in the latest years have been blended. I do like blended cigars, and I fi nd them more complex than the ones that are made in the Puro, style. For a blend to function, one must approach the tobaccos available with the mind directed towards differentiation: I’m asking questions like, why are these tobac-cos different among themselves? What is special about this tobacco?

Over the years, the varieties of tobacco that has been used for years, are obviously familiar to the makers, and there-fore, less complicated to work with. When one phases a new variety or a new combination, the answers to the ques-tions are even more pertinent. Over my years in the business I started changing the way tobaccos were re-ceived and used. Parts of the changes are, per example, the fermenta-tion of tobaccos accor-ding the foliage stage from which they were picked. By doing this, we created meaning to the blending itself. When we started im-plementing, the new rules, the consistency of our blends improved

dramatically and we had all the tobacco people cooperation and support, because it did not make sense do in any other way. Back to the blending, most creative and innovative product will be co-ming from blending and then packa-ging materials that will carry on them a story about the brand. So, even though production can originate ideas for blending or other element of the day to day business, normally, the ideas for new products are co-ming from the people that are closer to the customers. Thanks to all interested in this small contribution to our customers and friends, about blending. My objective for you is to make you knowledgea-ble in blending and help you appre-ciate your smokes better.
