A cigar is a tightly-rolled bundle of dried and fermented leaf tobacco which is rolled in a series of types and sizes that is ignited so that its smoke may be drawn into the mouth

Cigar tobacco is grown in significant quantities in the Vinale Valley in Cuba


Tobacco and other crops are cultivated on the bottom of the valley, mostly by traditional agriculture techniques
