This lady we saw in the center of Trinidad make a
cigar by hand
A cigar is a tightly-rolled bundle of dried and fermented leaf
tobacco which is rolled in a series of types and sizes that is ignited so that
its smoke may be drawn into the mouth
Cigar tobacco is grown in significant
quantities in the Vinale Valley in Cuba
Tobacco and other crops are cultivated
on the bottom of the valley, mostly by traditional agriculture techniques
The
origins of cigar smoking are still unknownIn Guatemala, a ceramic pot dating
back to the tenth century features a Mayan smoking tobacco leaves tied together
with a string
Sikar, the term for smoking used by the Maya may have inspired
the name cigar
