Cigar Talk (3) Pig Tail

In the cigar world, there is a term called pig tail. This word has a long history. The English name is PIGTAIL, which translates as pig tail. A pigtail cigar is a specific term that refers to a small protrusion that resembles a pigtail on the cap portion of the cigar. The cap of a cigar is generally a curved surface. In fact, a round tobacco leaf is used to wrap the cigar, and the cap of a pig tail cigar is a protrusion. The original pig tail cigar specifically refers to a small braid that curls and spirals together like a pig tail in the cap part. Now, as long as the cap part has protrusions, it can be called a pig tail.

The birth of pig tail is not a magical thing. At the most primitive time, cigars did not have so many complicated craftsmanship, and there was no specific specification for the wrapper. After the rolling was completed, the excess wrapper would be left, so the excess wrapper would be left behind. Part of the rotary seal, similar to the seal on the bun, is designed to seal the cigar. In other words, the most primitive cigars do not have a separate cap. After the roll is finished, one end is open, and the other end is rotated to seal the wrapper. It was not until later that the wrapper was gradually evolved.
