The variable ones of the taste in the smoked one I ago take cue from a post published time on situated of Cigar the Association Club that asked if forms to you various influissero also on the organolettiche qualities of the smoked one. Many the answers, some wide condivisibili ones, that they agreed on the fact that a format could not change the organolettiche qualities of a sigaro. Leaving from this reflection I have intentional to develop an analysis wider and articulated on the determining factors the quality of the smoked one that they influence also on the mechanics and fruizione of the same smoked one. The quality of the smoked one depends essentially on four groups of variable: - the tobacco or quality of the tobaccos - cure and aging - - the manufacture or quality of the manufacture or forms: Parejos, figurados, tumbados, and culebras or measures: To determine wide and grueso - the conservation or conservation, sharpening and stagionatura - the smoker: or cut of the head or mechanics of smoked the quality of the tobaccos. We leave in the first place from the raw materials: the tobacco! - Various qualities of tobacco and tobaccos first quality (in large the premium) To Cuba, like also in the other nations tobacco manufacturers, are various zones of production ognuna with different characteristics and qualities. Remaining to Cuba the zone in better absolute it is found to the West in the region of Pinar of the River in the province of Saint Luis and Juan. Here we can calmly assert that the best tobacco of the world cultivates itself! The microclimate and the land create a magical alchemy where the Cuban tobacco has found just the habitat ideal that is translate in a inarrivabile arrogant product, simply fantastic! The production zone is therefore fundamental in order to guarantee a quality product enormously, changing from zone to zone. - Differences in a same one sigaro in the various productions But also to the inside of a same zone of production we can not always meet collected and tobaccos to the maximum of the shape. A more rainy season of the normal school, natural calamities, attacks of fungi or bugs can determine a harvest of inferior quality to the expectations and standard accustoms them. But also times mistake you of drying and fermentation (or not sufficient aging) of the tobacco influence on the quality of the product. Memory still today some H.Upmann that I smoked various years ago. They were incredibly unpleasant; I made them to taste to some friends and also they confirmed my judgment: pessimi. The thing left me somewhat perplexed because this marks produces optimal sigari! Removed the aspect of the conservation that had been optimal the only solution to the insufficient quality of the sigaro it did not remain that to incolpare the quality of the tobaccos, evidently not to the height of the importance and image of the product. Today frankly many qualities of Cuban tobacco in use are cosi and others in via experience them that it must consider also the evenienza that not always the used tobacco has the characteristics of the last one as soon as smoked! Between the other in the light of new information in my possession the quality of the tobaccos remains the only key of reading of some otherwise irrisolvibili enigmas. Me dilungo too much on the tobaccos because beyond dirvi the names and as they are cultivates to you I would not know dirvi other. But probably on the qualities of these also the Cuban agronomists would have little other to add just because we are speaking about tobaccos still in via of "experimentation". Insomma we with these new tobaccos are still in a phase comparable to that one of when Habana 2000 replaced the Corojo and 92 Habana the Criollo. Therefore only in a near future we could give of the first appraisals on the qualities generates them of these new tobaccos that from the first moment leave already to catch a glimpse some differences. One of these is sure the thickness of the leaves especially those from chief and not only. However this is an other speech.... The E' manufacture sure an other crucial node on the good fruizione of a Havana and on the development and variations of its organolettiche qualities during all the smoked one. Boys! That ugly times from 1998 to 2001 for the Cuban manufacture... Today the things remarkablly are improved thanks also to the introduction of blot some for the control of the draft that have reduced the defective sigari remarkablly. The manufacture, for that it regards the organolettiche qualities is basic, to the par of the ligada and the vito one it. Beyond the fact that a sigaro too much locked does not pull or viceversa if too much slow and empty it pulls too much, there are just of the aspects "of positioning" of the leaves to the inside of the sigaro that they have one function specificity. A wrong disposition of the leaves beyond to being able to create combustion problems, with necessity of continuous flame participations in order to correct irregular braciere - damaging therefore the atmosphere that is established between smoker and sigaro - alters the aromatic expression of the liga. In fact the three types of leaves (ligero, volado, seco) do not burn in the same moment producing therefore aromatic-tasted contributions you in various from those previewed percentages, often determining smoked a more pungente, warmth and bitter that stretches to cover or to inhibit the gustativa perception and the aromatic development. Families of belongings. An other variable one from many underrated or ignored quite in the fruizione of the sigaro is just the shape of the sigaro. We canonically distinguish the sigari in two large ones famigli of appartenza: the Parejos - that is those sigari with sides of the gun parallels - for or which the organolettiche variations during the smoked one is not from chargeing to the shape but to the wide one and grueso, only variable that allow to exalt some or less the same quality. the Figurados - all those sigari taper you to an extremity or both - taper that the organolettiche qualities influence in determining way, in particular that one of the head, where one will be had greater concentration of oils and sugars. Indispensable E' therefore to cut the head with cognition, trying to make yes that once that the perilla the part is removed that we will carry to the mouth it resembles to a funnel or cone. This will allow to sugars and oils to converge towards this "cone" creating an effect "bomb" thanks to the greater concentration of same on an escape surface the much limited one, with an amplification of the sapori on the language and palate, esageratamente advanced to that it will be able to be created in a sigaro parejo of equal dimension. For this I think figurados the only family of sigari that can truly change the organolettiche qualities of sigaro thanks to the shape. In particular in the "Perfecto" - all those sigari taper you from ambo the parts and that they always belong to the family of the Figurados - there is a double performance that influences on the organolettiche qualities of a sigaro. In fact, the perilla it not only offers advantages for the tapered shape but also the foot, anch' tapered it, guarantees "a slow" departure, where the insufficient amount of tobacco contained here allows our palate to prepare itself and to adapt itself gradatamente therefore from being able to better appreciate intensifying itself of the puff and sapori. Only the family of the figurados succeeds therefore to express these performances, variable thanks to these additional ones, while the other families play alone on length and diameter. Now I will speak shortly about the others two families to you. The Tumbados those sigari are all that are not neither parejos neither figurados and frankly neanche one via of means! Then as they are? They differ simply from the Parejos because they have the head leggermente ovalizzata. Representatives of this family are as an example the Celestiales Finos di Romeo y Julieta and Partagās 109. Currently in production ce they are not any, but between the years ' 50-' 80 various Marches contemplated some in the just vitolario one, like the Favoritas en Cedar of Maria Guerrero, Obsequios di Hoyo de Monterrey, and an infinite one of others. Often they are identifies to you as Perfecto but to wanting to be precise their just family of belongings is that one of the Tumbados. In reference to the tipicitā of the organolettiche qualities, I must disappoint to you. In fact, in spite of the ovalizzata head, the organolettiche qualities endure one truly minimal variation regarding a parejos not leaving therefore one true print on the organolettiche characteristics. Celebra, I call them the sigari of Gamon or Gighen, remembered the friend gunman of Arsenio Lupin animated cardboard that he smoked those sigari all storti! He is yes because the Culebra - than in Spanish it means biwake - is three sigari, usually panetelas, coils to you between they that they only served to make to see how much the Cuban tobacco was flexible. In order to smoke them it had to untie them and to straighten them, for how much possible one! Advantages? creed truly little if those it does not make you to arrive the smoke in mouth after avergli made to go around three of spiral! Goodness knows, it could it are to us a benefit also in this!! Wide and Grueso These are the two true crews to disposition of all the sigari but in particular of the perfectly cylindrical sigari that have other arrows to just the arc.
