One of the best things about being a cigar smoker is the fact that you can try so many different types of cigars. You will be able to enjoy the great tobacco tastes from around the world, and this gives you many different options.
However, do cigars that come from other countries actually taste different? They do taste different and the variances that they offer in taste are just one of the reasons that so many people smoke cigars and sample tobaccos from around the world.
You may wonder, "If tobacco is a plant and all tobacco comes from a tobacco plant, how can it taste different if it is grown somewhere else?" The answer isn't simple. You will find a number of different things that will cause tobacco from different geographic areas to taste different. One of the most obvious factors is the soil. Tobacco can grow in many places around the world, but the soil in each of those various areas is different. Some of the soil may be more alkaline, while soil in another location will have more acidity. This can be a large factor in how the tobacco tastes and how smooth it is.
Another reason that you will find causes taste differences is the curing process. This can vary from the country of origin, the region in which the tobacco was grown in that country, and the manufacturer's preferences. You will be able to find tobacco that is air-cured, as well as that which is fire-cured. The age of the tobacco when it is picked can also affect the taste.
The ring gauge, or the diameter of the cigar, is another factor. Even when you have cigars from the same area, and even with the same wrapper, you can find taste differences dependent on the ring gauge. Larger cigars, those with a large diameter, often have a flavor considered "full".
With all of the different cigar choices from around the world, smokers are going to be able to sample all of the different styles and tastes, adding even more to their enjoyment of the hobby.
