Wrapped around the filler tobacco is the cigar's binder. This binder gently encases the filler tobaccos to give the cigar its proper shape and size. Leaves used for this purpose are chosen because they have the strength needed to hold the cigar together firmly yet gently. Some of the world's best binder tobaccos come from the Besoeki region of Java.
Java Besoeki binders are both classic and functional, giving the cigar excellent burning characteristics and a unique fragrance, harmonizing with the full taste of the filler tobacco.
Great care is taken to ensure that the binder tobacco leaves impart complementary flavor to the filler and wrapper. The binder gives structural stability to the cigar, and ensures an even burn. Wismilak Premium Cigars use the highest quality binders to provide a flavor that harmonizes with the other components, keeping the cigar's shape intact to the last puff.
