Cuban Aging

[elcaribe]

James, your video does not speak of aging tobacco by the Cubans do they age it?

Are you talking about my documentary or videos on the site?

Yes. They age tobacco depending on what the tobacco is being used for. Today, wrapper is aged up to a year, binder slightly more and filler anything from one to five years.

Blending the different strengths, ages and types of tobacco helps give Cuban cigars their complexity.

Hope that helps.

You guys should check out Min Ron Nee's Encyclopaedia of Post Revolution Havana Cigars for an in depth overview of how Cuban cigars age...
