The term refers to a specific type of cigar. These cigars are characterized by their natural, rustic appearance and typically consist of a single broadleaf wrapper, providing a distinctive aroma and flavor profile. The manufacturing process often involves minimal processing, which contributes to its unrefined aesthetic.
Its appeal stems from a perceived authenticity and a connection to traditional tobacco use. Some users find value in the slower burning time and the richer, more intense flavor compared to mass-produced alternatives. Historically, this type of product has been associated with a more rugged or outdoorsy lifestyle.
