Regarding how to know a cigar completely

mmkuchi · March 2015

I just wonder that if there's any sources I can refer to to figure out, for a particular cigar, what grade is the tobacco, when it is grown, what factory is it rolled by, who's the blender, and specifics like all these.

Very good ?, I know it would help a lot.

Vast majority of cigar manufacturers and factories are quite secretive about that sort of stuff so no, no place im aware of to get that information.

Experience. One of the gents who taught me a whole hellova lot about the cigar industry could smoke a cigar blind and tell you the age, region, and composition of every component (along with the likely manufacturer based upon blending styles). Absolutely blew my mind, and yes I did test him on it.
