• Cigar Wrapper
  USA Connecticut Shade

  The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
  The Connecticut Valley, in the Northeast of the USA, is well known for its bright golden wrapper. Because of a very hot and sunny summer, the tobacco is shade grown to make the leaf more delicate with few veins and even surface. Connecticut Shade wrapper grown in the United States has a mild to medium flavor and a silky quality, making it one of the most expensive and sought-after cigar wrappers in the cigar industry.
• Cigar Binder
  Sumatra

  The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. 
  Tobacco grown in Sumatra is chiefly used as a wrapper, but it also serves as a great binder. It is flavorful and has a consistent dark color.
• Cigar Filler
  Nicaragua

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