The outermost layer, as its name suggests, is the outer leaf that wraps the cigar. The quality of the wrapper is crucial to any cigar and can generally account for up to 70% of the tobacco by value, while contributing only 10% of the weight.
A good wrapper should have consistent flavor and steady burning qualities. Wrappers must be elastic, without coarse veins. This valued leaf of the cigar contributes significantly to the flavor and overall smoking experience. Wismilak Premium Cigar utilizes the prized Connecticut shade seed and process for the brand's wrapper, providing for the best flavor and most consistent burn.
Wismilak chooses wrapper that is extremely smooth with a hint of oil on its surface. The tobacco's exceedingly close cell structure provides the cigar rich texture and beauty. The oily wrapper leaf indicates that the tobacco itself as well as the finished rolled cigar have been well humidified and cared for, making for a relatively cool burn and draw. Ultimately, a "cool" smoke is a tastier one, allowing your sense of smell and taste to sense the many nuances associated with the smoking experience one can only get from such a high quality cigar.
