Introduction to 3- to 5-cigar cases
Boxes of 3 to 5 cigars are designed for those who wish to explore a range of cigars without the commitment of a full box. These assortments offer an opportunity to test the consistency of quality and diversity of flavor profiles.
Origins and traditions
Each wrapper comes from renowned tobacco-growing regions such as Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Honduras and Nicaragua. The care taken in the tobacco growing and harvesting process is reflected in the quality of each cigar. The terroirs are distinguished by their distinct soils and climates, which directly influence the characteristics of the tobacco.
Tobacco characteristics
In these cases, the types of tobacco used can vary from seductive capa leaves with a veined look to balanced tripa blends. Manufacturers select leaves that meet strict criteria of maturity, aroma and flavor. The different methods of fermenting and ageing tobacco also contribute to the complexity of each cigar.
Manufacturing process
Cigar-making involves several painstaking stages, from hand-rolling to rigorous quality control. Artisan torcedores use techniques handed down from generation to generation to create cigars of remarkable consistency in draw and burn.
Tasting profile
The tasting notes of the cigars contained in these cases can vary from earthy and woody to sweet and fruity. Each cigar invites a unique sensory experience, often complemented by nuances of leather, spice or coffee, to satisfy a wide range of preferences.
Cultural impact and evolution
The popularity of 3- to 5-cigar cases bears witness to changing consumer habits. Once the preserve of the elite, cigars are now enjoyed by a wider public.
