BESTYALL CIGARS Guide
How to choose
the right cigar.
Choosing a cigar becomes much easier when you understand a few fundamentals: strength, wrapper, size, shape and origin.
This cigar guide from BESTYALL CIGARS is designed to help beginners and experienced cigar enthusiasts better understand what to look for when selecting a premium cigar.
Cigar Basics
You do not need to be an expert to enjoy a great cigar.
A cigar is shaped by many factors, including tobacco variety, fermentation, wrapper, origin, size and construction. Learning the basics can help you identify the styles you enjoy most.
01 · Cigar Strength
Start with the body.
Cigar strength is one of the simplest ways to narrow your choices. Think about how intense you want the overall experience to feel.
Medium
Balanced cigars with more depth, aroma and complexity while remaining approachable.
Versatile and widely enjoyed.
Full
Rich, bold cigars with deeper flavors, greater intensity and a stronger overall profile.
Often preferred by experienced smokers.
02 · Cigar Wrapper
The wrapper shapes the first impression.
The wrapper is the outermost tobacco leaf. Its variety, fermentation, color and origin can contribute significantly to aroma, flavor and overall character.
01
Connecticut
Usually lighter in appearance and commonly associated with smooth, creamy and approachable flavor profiles.
02
Habano

Maduro
A darker wrapper created through longer fermentation, often associated with notes such as cocoa, coffee and natural sweetness.

Understand the vitola.
Vitola refers to a cigar's size and shape. It can influence smoking time, draw, temperature and how a blend develops during the experience.
01
Robusto
Short & substantial
A popular format that offers concentrated flavor in a relatively shorter smoking experience.

Torpedo
Tapered head
A shaped cigar with a tapered head that can influence the draw and concentrate flavor.

Where tobacco grows matters.
Soil, climate, seed variety and production traditions all contribute to the personality of a cigar.
