This cigar is 5 inches long, or 127 mm.

Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
The Dominican Republic is the world's first producer of cigars. Most factories are located in Santiago, in the center of the island, and in close proximity to the tobacco fields grown in the fertile Cibao Valley. While tobacco and cigars have always traditionally been produced in the Dominican Republic, many Cuban cigar makers established in the Dominican Republic after the Cuban communist revolution, elevating the quality of Dominican cigars.

The cigar ring gauge corresponds to the diameter of a cigar, this cigar has a ring gauge of 52, so his diameter is 52/64 inches or 20.57 mm.

PDR Cigars is a boutique cigar company that was established in 2004 by Abe Flores. Located in Tamboril, Dominican Republic. PDR cigars are handmade using the sophisticated Entubado technique, which is a traditional Cuban rolling method. They also take a very traditional Cuban approach to developing blends.

The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Ecuador is the perfect place to grow wrappers, because it is located on the Equator! And it has rich soils too. The weather conditions, with a nearly permanent cloudy sky, provide a natural shade, protecting the wrapper plants from sunshine and allowing the tobacco to grow thin and light. This climate allows tobacco growers to grow Connecticut-seed wrapper in the shade without shade cloths, resulting in more economical wrapper.

The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. 
Dominican Republic is a traditional tobacco-growing country. Dominican Olor tobacco is mild flavored but very aromatic.

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