What is Priming in Tobacco?
Priming refers to the process of harvesting tobacco leaves from a plant in sequential layers. Different primings affect the strength and flavor of the final cigar.
Why is Priming Important?
Each layer of the tobacco plant has distinct characteristics. For example, lower leaves (volado) are milder, while upper leaves (ligero) are stronger and richer in flavor.
Types of Primings
The key primings are volado (bottom), seco (middle), and ligero (top). These layers are blended to create balanced cigars with unique flavor profiles.
