So I was asking about why cigars are capped in the "Cigars" section and I learned something new to me.
I was told that when rolling cigars, leaves are placed in the cigar facing the same direction. The tobacco at the foot is mostly comprised of the tips or outermost end of the leaf. This area is where the tobacco has the richest flavor, which makes sense that the less desirable tobacco ends up in the head where one stops smoking the cigar.
I've read a lot about rolling but I never came across this detail. I know that I don't pay attention to leaf orientation when bunching. Am I the only one doing it wrong?
