It is the gentle giant that holds everything inside that delicious cigars of your together. The binder is the blanket that comforts the sweet Cuban tobacco. Yes it might not appear as polished as the wrapper of your cigar. The wrapper is what you touching with your fingers while your are smoking your Cuban cigars.

The wrapper serves as the out most layer that holds everything together but the binder is the one that holds the magical Cuban tobacco in perfect condition.If you cigar didn’t have a binder on it that was properly rolled than the tobacco in it will simply fall off.

Sorry for the sarcasm, but only true Cuban cigar aficionados like you and I know how amazing Cuban cigars truly are. The binder is not bunch of ropes or microscopic threads situated in the middle of the Cuban cigar. The binder is also a half of the single leaf. Most people think that the binder is just another material but no not at all.

Going back to the wrappers of the Cuban cigar, they are also the most expensive and rarest to grow. It makes sense because it is the most important part of the cigar when it comes to the look. Cuban cigars are beautiful objects and a wrapper not perfect is not going to work. Cuban cigar rollers take great pride in creating the most delicate yet powerful wrappers for their Cuban cigars.

It is down right impossible to make a ‘good’ cigar without a binder. That is why when people try Cuban cigars, they are just so overwhelmed by the consistency. Cuban cigars are consistent throughout for a reason because it is a tradition that every one follows in Cuban and has been for a long time.
