Damn! I keep throwing my cigar sleeves in
the trash. I need to remember to use them to light my cigars . . .
Q & A: Cedar Sleeves?
Q. Why are some cigars wrapped in cedar and others
are not?
A. There are a variety of reasons for this. First,
is purely aesthetics. Cigars just look nicer in a cedar wrap. But the cedar
wrap does have some functionality too. The cedar wrap actually helps keep the
cigar’s humidity stable while in transit. The cedar also provides unique flavor
characteristics to complement most blends by adding a touch of cedar to the
flavor, especially when the cedar is applied before the aging process. Lastly,
cedar strips were originally used to light cigars as the flame from the cedar
strips provided a burst of cedar flavor at the start of the experience. Many
die-hard aficionados still practice this tradition.
