Smell of Cigars

The aroma or bouquet of a cigar truly depends upon the origins of the tobacco leaves and or whatever is rolled with it.  A majority of the smell is based on the wrapper leaf of the cigar.

Burning tobacco leaves can smell like many things.  As burning produces carbon, this is the first aromatic.  The following smells are a true derivative of where the leaves were grown.  The fields of the Connecticut River Valley or the Vuelta Abajo of Cuba.  Aromatics can vary from spice, pepper creosote and eucalyptus.  Some are acrid and some are sweet, but all of these are harmful to your lungs if inhaled into them.
