Cigars are typically made by hand, using a process that involves several steps. First, the tobacco leaves are harvested and dried in the sun,

a process known as curing.

After the leaves are cured, they are sorted by size, color, and quality, and then fermented to develop their flavor and aroma.

The final step is to age the cigars in a special room, known as a humidor, where the temperature and humidity are carefully controlled to ensure the cigars mature properly. The entire process can take several months to complete, but the result is a high-quality cigar with a complex flavor profile and aroma.
