Why do blends of tobacco have a difference when they are in the same line but have a different size? The answer is in the question. The size is what causes the difference. Larger cigars have a fuller taste because there is more filler to make the taste of the wrapper seem subtler. With the smaller cigars, even though the line is the same, you are going to have the wrapper change the taste. If you cut the cigar, you will get to see the blend and see how it differs from those of a different size.
Other things can change the taste of a cigar as well. For example, if you don’t use butane lighters, you might get a different taste in your cigar that was imparted through chemicals in the lighter you use. Butane doesn’t cause this problem. The next time you are buying cigars, you might want to do an experiment. Buy two cigars from the same line, but make sure they are different sizes.
You can see the blends in cigars by cutting them and looking at them. You can use a large cigar and a small cigar so that you can see the blend inside. You will find that dark tobaccos are often used in the middle of the cigar and lighter colored tobaccos are used closer to where the tobacco meets the wrapper. You will be able to see that the blends might look similar, but the larger cigar is going to have more of each type of tobacco, thus imparting a fuller flavor in most cases.
As your knowledge grows, you will find that you can tell the difference between the light and the dark tobaccos, and this will help you choose a cigar that you will enjoy. Take some time to experiment with different blends so that you can find the type of cigar that you like the best.
