What is a Cap?
The cap is the small piece of tobacco leaf at the closed end of a cigar. It is designed to keep the wrapper from unraveling and must be cut or punched before the cigar can be smoked.
Why is the Cap Important?
The cap ensures that the wrapper stays intact throughout the smoking process, maintaining the cigar's aesthetics and construction. A poorly constructed cap can lead to unraveling, affecting the smoking experience.
Types of Cigar Caps
Cigars feature different cap styles, such as single, double, or triple caps, which are particularly common in Cuban cigars. The triple cap is considered a hallmark of premium craftsmanship.
