 Bouquet – Used to describe the smell of a fine cigar and, of course, fine
wines
 Bunch – Filler tobacco used to create the body of a cigar
 Cap – A circular piece of wrapper leaf used to secure the wrapper at the
cigar head
 Cigarillos – Thin, three-inch cigars, generally machine-made
 Draw – Amount of air that gets pulled through a lit cigar. Easy/hot or
tight/plugged
 Flag – Instead of a cap, flags are an extension of the wrapper leaf used
to finish the head of a cigar. Sometimes tied off in a pigtail or a curly
head
 Foot – The end of the cigar that you light. Often pre-cut
 Head – The closed end of the cigar that you put into your mouth
 Hot – A cigar draw that is too easy, often because it has been
under-filled
 Hygrometer – Device used to measure humidity or percentage of
moisture in the air
 Long Filler – Whole tobacco leaves used to fill a cigar; these leaves are
long and can run the length of the cigar’s bunch. Long filler should burn
evenly and consistently
 Piercer – Used to cut/pierce a small hole in the end of a cigar (also
called a ‘lance’)
 Plug – A blockage that prevents a cigar from drawing properly. (Gently
massaging the cigar may relieve a plugged draw)
