"Cigars are no longer just for the seasoned smoker.
They have become a staple in society for rookies and veterans alike,
representing an air of character, class and pleasure. Whether it's a
satisfying smoke after dinner, during a round of golf, or out at the
bar for drinks, cigars are the perfect complement to your lifestyle
because that is exactly what defines cigar smoking:
-- your lifestyle. Welcome to the good life!"
HARVESTING OF TOBACCO PLANTS

The Cuban Tobacco leaves are harvested with intervals and starting from the bottom of the tobacco plants. From the bottom up. This method allows the plant to develop its remaining leaves while the first ones are already harvested and, which creates a bigger production.
Shade-grown tobacco plants are taller and have more leaves, and therefore require more work. The "Mañanita" leaves are the ones that are picked first and they are too small for Habanos premium cigars. They make excellent tobacco for the Cuban mini cigars.
