Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
The San Andres valley in Mexico is known for its rich fertile soils, fresh air, sparkling cool clear waters and neighboring volcanoes. Conditions perfect for growing premium tobacco. Mexican San Andres tobacco is highly regarded by cigar aficionados for its close resemblance to the Connecticut broadleaf. It is used primarily as a binder or wrapper. As for flavor, Mexican San Andres tobacco exudes peppery notes with a sweetness you usually find in Maduro cigars.

Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Maduro wrapper can go from dark coffee brown with a reddish tint to blackish brown (the latter also called Oscuro).

The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Mexican tobacco is very dark and the best leaves can be used as maduro wrappers. San Andres Maduro is a thick, medium bodied dark leaf, also called San Andres Morron. Like Connecticut Broadleaf, San Andres Maduro is stalk cut and used for binder and wrapper.

The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. 
The San Andres region in Mexico is known for producing some of the best tobacco in the world. The tobacco is stalk cut and valued for its rich dark color and used to make noteworthy maduro wrappers and binders.

Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.

Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.
