The Long & Short of Long, Short, & Mixed Fillers, A Cigar Primer

Gentlepersons, in the interest of brevity, with-out any even mere thought of dalliance to ado, or adon't, or amaybe, lettuce then: ... Ya see, I wanna write and post this prior to a mixed leaf Topper Cigar Co. offering I'll be reviewing for post whenst this is done, and therefore can reference therein. Get it? Good, so sans any further... this: ... I mean, there is so much work to be done and to be orchestrated, conducted, etc...

LONG-FILLER:
Long-filler refers to whole tobacco leaves which run the length of the cigar. The Premium and perchance even Super Premium offering (if donning a cape and mask, natch). Tobacco is nature, nature doth vary some, but generally think this in terms of size: usage of long-fillers birthed common cigar lengths.

SHORT-FILLER:
Short-filler: chopped tobacco. In lieu of long-filler's whole leaves, short-filled cigars use trimmings, choppings and 'other' plant/leaf parts. Think less than Premium and hotter more un-even burns, particularly. Think Further on Each of the Eleven (11) Commandments of Cigar Etiquette V. Machine-mades oft go here, with a double-binder tact.

MIXED-FILLER:
Mixed-filler involves, guess what -- a mix of long and short fillers. Oy, the brilliance. One mixed-filler method, the Cuban Sandwich approach to manufacture, sees short-filler rolled into long-filler leaves. Ah, the art of the $2 stogie. I cannot say soitenly that Topper's Ebony, this brief article's impetus, does exactly that.
