Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Production of cigars in the United States, once a thriving industry, is now mainly machine made cigars. They are still being produced in the last remaining cigar factory from the 1890s, the JC Newman Cigar factory in Tampa. However, in recent years boutique brands have flourished and are being handmade by select rollers in Miami, Florida.

Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Natural wrapper, also known as Colorado Claro, is light brown in color.

The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. 
Homogenized tobacco is a mixture of chopped scrap tobacco and a cellulose adhesive. It’s primarily used for making inexpensive machine-made stogies.

Machine-made cigars may be completely assembled by machine, or they may be bunched by machine but the wrapper is placed on the cigar by hand.

Altadis U.S.A. is one of the world's largest cigar manufacturers with over 5,000 employees. They have been making cigars since 1918 with factories in the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Puerto Rico, Florida and Richmond, Virginia.
