Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Honduras, a Central American country which shares a border with Nicaragua, is widely known in the premium cigar industry as the ideal place to grow Cuban and Connecticut seed tobaccos. Danli and the Jamastran Valley is considered the heart of Honduras’ cigar industry. The Jamastran Valley is known for producing a full-bodied tobacco that draws strong comparisons to the tobacco grown in the Pinar del Rio region of Cuba. This same region is also known for its Connecticut shade grown and Corojo shade grown tobacco. In addition, Honduras produces Cuban-seed sun grown filler tobaccos of the highest quality.

Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Some cigars have two different wrappers that are placed in a decorative manner, such as the barber pole or pinstripe cigar.

The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Known for its delicate yet complex tobacco, the Jalapa Valley produces some of the most prized crops in the entire industry. Rich with a simultaneously spicy and sweet flavor, Jalapa tobacco is one of the three main Nicaraguan variants that exist today.

The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. 

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.
