Q: What is the difference between hand-rolled and machine-made cigars?
A: Hand-rolled cigars are made by skilled artisans who carefully create each cigar by rolling the filler leaves in a binder, and then wrapping the entire cigar in a wrapper leaf. Machine-made cigars, on the other hand, are created by machines that stuff tobacco into pre-made tubes.

A: Yes, many cigar aficionados consider aging Cuban cigars to be an essential step in the cigar smoking experience. Properly aging your cigars can help to mellow the flavors and improve the overall smoking experience.
Q: How should I store my Cuban cigars?
A: Cuban cigars should be stored in a humidor with a temperature range between 68-70 degrees Fahrenheit and a humidity level between 65-70%.
Q: How long will my Cuban cigars last?
A: Properly stored Cuban cigars can last for years, even decades. However, as they age, the flavor and strength may change, so it is important to experiment and find the aging sweet spot that is ideal for your discerning palate.
Q: How should I cut and light my Cuban cigar?
