The main differences between cigarettes and cigars:

1. Surface differences

1. Different volumes. A single cigarette is smaller, while a cigar is generally larger. .

2. The processing methods are different. Cigarettes are made by roasting tobacco, most of which are made on mechanical assembly lines, while cigars are made by fermenting and drying tobacco leaves, and the best cigars are all made by hand.

3. The packaging forms are different. Cigarette tobacco is cut into shreds and wrapped in paper rolls after refining, while cigars are rolled directly with dried tobacco leaves.

4. The composition is different. Cigarettes have filters, and as the times advance, cigarette filters now come in various flavors. Some brands also put popping beads of various flavors in the filters, which are not available in these cigars. .

2. Differences in smoking methods

1. Cigars are not inhaled into the lungs. They only stay in the mouth for a while and then spit them out slowly. It is also best to keep the ash, so that you can It tastes better.

2. The smoking time of cigars is much longer than that of cigarettes. If you don’t smoke a cigarette after lighting it, it will burn the entire cigarette. If you don’t smoke a cigar after lighting it, it will extinguish itself in about three minutes.

3. Before smoking a cigar, you need to use a professional cigar to cut off the cigar head, preheat the cigar, and then light it evenly from the edge to the center to have a pure taste.

3. Differences in cultural significance

1. To some extent, cigarettes satisfy physiological needs and living habits. They are convenient and cheap, similar to daily necessities. The price range of cigars is very wide, they are generally more expensive, and there are even more expensive varieties than you can imagine, which have a certain collection value. Tasting the best cigars is called tasting and appreciation.

2. Cigars require investment in space, time, money, and energy for maintenance and special equipment for care. Similar to cultural toys, the cost of enjoyment is very different and the realm is different.

3. Cigarettes are not suitable for long-term storage. The flavor will not improve over time, but cigars can be stored for a long time like wine under appropriate temperature and humidity.

When it comes to cigars, the first thing that comes to mind is the smoke-filled scenes of gang bosses in Hong Kong dramas. Do you feel this way?

Hong Kong movies have been deeply loved by the audience since they were introduced to the mainland. Hong Kong movies have opened another door for mainlanders, allowing us to see the world outside the mainland, classic Cantonese, and prosperous Hong Kong, of course, has cigars that most people can’t afford.

Gangster movies in Hong Kong movies show us the history of different gangsters’ fortunes. During this period, there were also many stars, and different stars created different classic cigar-smoking characters.

For example: Big D played by Tony Leung Ka Fai, Brother Zha played by Lui Liangwei, Wang Bao played by Sammo Hung, etc. Cigar smoking has also become an iconic feature of gangsters.

Turning back to the Mainland, the most classic person who smokes cigars in Mainland movies should be none other than Jiang Wenjiang. Uncle Jiang, from "One Step Away", "Jasmine Blossoms", "The Evil Can Suppress the Right", "A Stranger" In classic movies such as "Letter from a Woman", Jiang Wen in the movie has a standard hairstyle that is parted in the middle. The hairspray is very hard, and the hairstyle is never messy, and he never leaves his hand with a cigar.

There are more scenes of cigar smoking in foreign movies, so why do these big guys like to smoke cigars instead of cigarettes? What's the difference between them?

1. The raw materials are the same, but the production principles are different. Cigars and cigarettes are both tobacco products. Cigars are made from dried and fermented tobacco. Cigarettes are made by drying the tobacco and cutting it into shreds. Both are made by rolling paper at the back. The method of smoking is the same.

Tobacco for making cigars is mainly produced in Brazil, Cuba, Indonesia, China and other countries. Cigarettes were first popular in Turkey, and were later introduced to the United Kingdom due to wars, then to European countries such as Portugal, and were introduced to China in the mid-16th century. .

Cigarettes are about 120mm long, about 10mm in diameter, and are in the shape of a barrel. With the development of the times, more and more women are smoking cigarettes. There are also women's cigarettes in modern times. Compared with conventional cigarettes, the size of women's cigarettes is The top is thinner and more delicate, fitting women's features. I often see a lady dressed in a very artistic style holding a cigarette on the street, which I think is cool. Gaultier, a brand that has become popular in the fashion industry in the past few years, has a glamorous model holding a cigarette on the catwalk every time a show opens. She holds a cigarette, lights a cigarette, and smokes. Her movements are as good as men's, or even better than men's. Taste, you can go and see these classic shows.

Someone once ridiculed celebrities who married into wealthy families in Hong Kong: "As deep as the wealthy family is as deep as the sea." People who are familiar with cigars should also know that there is a similar saying in the cigar circle: "Once you enter the cigar pit, it is as deep as the sea." ", why is there such a statement?

2. Target different groups of people. Cigars are not only a kind of tobacco, but also represent a kind of culture. Smoking cigars is not as simple as smoking cigarettes. To become a qualified cigar smoker, you must know the basic knowledge about cigars. This also represents Whether you are a fake customer.

Cigarettes are not as sophisticated as cigars. As long as you want to smoke, you can go to the store at the door and buy a box and you will be instantly satisfied. The cigar is like the scepter in the hand of the king, it represents a kind of momentum. Yes, only those with status can smoke.

3. Prices are different. Cigars are several times more expensive than cigarettes. Because cigars are also a symbol of status and a representative of aristocratic rights. High-end cigars are produced in limited quantities and are also a sign of nobility. That is, you can buy them no matter how rich you are.

In Western countries, nobles and gentlemen regard smoking cigars as a kind of enjoyment. From ancient times to the present, these cigar smokers have been very particular about puffing away smoke.

4. The production methods are different. Cigars are indeed expensive, but they are expensive for a reason.

Cigars are purely natural products, and the selection of materials is very strict, and the production process requires even more checks. The finest cigar raw materials must go through the process of aging. This process alone takes at least two years. This process is to ensure the pure aroma of the cigars.

Cigarettes are different. Cigarettes are chemically processed and some chemicals are added to cigarettes. Cigarettes also have different tobacco content due to different origins and brands. Compared with cigars, the production of cigarettes is It’s not so complicated and rigorous anymore.

5. The usage occasions are different. Cigar smokers generally choose to enjoy cigars after a meal. Before using them, they also need to check whether the cigars are intact and intact. These are all related to the result of enjoyment. At nightclubs, business negotiations, and when you are happy in life, that's when cigars come into play.

Cigarettes are more casual and can be used before or after meals. Nowadays, cigarettes are not allowed on high-speed trains, trains, cars, and public places. There are not many restrictions on other things. The office culture is relatively strong. Everywhere, "old smokers" can get together, cross their legs, and smoke in groups. This should be common to everyone.

6. The consequences are different. Smoking cigars and smoking cigarettes have different health hazards. Cigar smokers have a lower rate of lung disease than cigarette smokers. Just lighting up cigarette smoke has many hazards. The well-known nicotine, nitrosamines, and benzopyrene all contain carcinogens. Substances, this is also the reason why people who smoke cigarettes frequently will suffer from chronic pharyngitis, chronic bronchitis, lung cancer and other diseases over time.

There is a sentence printed on the cigarette boxes: Smoking is harmful to health. It also warns people that the diseases caused by tobacco are preventable and quitting smoking has become an international event. Say no to tobacco and cherish life. Let us work together to build a healthy home.

Let’s talk about the biggest difference in use first! A cigar is not good for the lungs! It is not good for the lungs! But lungs!

Smoking a cigarette involves ingesting the nicotine in the smoke produced by burning tobacco leaves through the lung mucosa, while smoking a cigar involves inhaling the flavor, mainly relying on the oral mucosa to capture the aroma of the cigar. The two are not the same. language! Smoking is for the dopamine effect brought by nicotine, smoking cigars is for the desire of the tongue. To put it simply, smoking is similar to satisfying hunger, and smoking cigars is similar to tasting delicious food.

The first one on the left is a COHIBA genius; the second left is a COHIBA cigarillo. A cigarillo is a small cigar. From the picture, you can see that the size is about the same as a filter cigarette, but the cigarillo does not have one. Filter; the third one from the left is UPMANN’s 2009 limited edition; the first one from the right is the Yellow Box Furong King.

What are the differences between cigars and cigarettes~ The difference in production process

Ordinary cigarettes are first the product of the assembly line, selecting tobacco leaves, regaining moisture, storing leaves, cutting into shreds, and drying , adding spices and other processes, these processes make different tobacco leaves into shredded tobacco with a uniform taste. However, cigars require manual selection of materials, strict requirements on origin, date, and unique requirements for processing and preservation. These require accurate manual judgment based on experience, which is different from modern industrial production such as cigarettes.

Industrially produced cigarettes must be standardized, and the conditions during the production process are strictly controlled by machines. Handmade cigars can only be judged by the cigar maker's eyes, the touch of the finger skin, and the sense of taste.

The rolling and splicing of cigarettes also fully reflects the efficiency of the machine, but good cigars require many workers to roll them by hand every day. Even if they are familiar with the cigar making process and technology, the efficiency is still very low, because this It takes everyone’s experience and professional vision to judge the quality of the cigar filler, inner wrapper and outer wrapper and make a choice. There is no breakdown of the process, and everything has to be completed by one person independently. The efficiency is so low that each person can only roll more than 100 cigars a day, but these more than 100 cigars condense the hard work and experience of the worker. The cigars rolled by good workers are called Quite literally a work of art.

Cigars are handmade products, while cigarettes are industrial products.

Differences in smoking

The most intuitive difference is that cigarettes generally circulate through the whole cycle (pulmonary inhalation), entering the body through the mouth and throat, and then expelled. At the beginning, dizziness, choking, etc. will appear. After getting used to it, you will It has the feeling of relaxing the brain and numbing the nerves. A good cigarette will fill the nasal cavity with the aroma of spices. Most people who have smoked cigars will quit cigarettes because the aroma is the natural tobacco aroma and the taste is completely different. Smoking cigars generally It is a local circulation (the mouth cannot be inhaled into the lungs). Only small sips are inhaled into the mouth, without inhalation into the lungs. The smoke is only allowed to exist in the mouth for a few seconds and then exhausted as much as possible, and then the smoke surrounding the body is felt through the nasal cavity. It is a primitive and simple way. Fragrance, while relaxing your mind and enjoying it slowly. This does not mean low-end machine-made cigars, which are no different from cigarettes except for the higher nicotine and nicotine content. They will only make people more tired. Smoking those cigars is not as good as smoking some good cigarettes.

The difference in vitality

Cigarettes are like fast food, ready to eat after opening the bag, purely consumable. And cigar is a living thing. When it first appears, a good cigar is like a young man, full of edges and corners, not calm enough or composed enough. Many people like to use newly bought cigars to show off, but they don’t understand that cigars will grow. Storing cigars in a suitable environment and undergoing secondary fermentation can make a cigar from a well-known family become more calm, calm, and full of wisdom. The original aggressiveness of the cigar is greatly improved and becomes mild, soft and harmonious. It's as fragrant and rich as an old wine stored in a cellar.

Let’s talk about health. Whether smoking or smoking tomatoes, they are actually harmful to health. To what extent is it harmful? The chance of a normal person getting lung cancer is 9 in 100,000. , the number of people who smoke all year round is 10 times that of normal people. This is not what I said. A friend of mine who is a lung cancer surgeon told me that while smoking cigars can very well prevent the risk of lung cancer, it greatly increases the risk of oral cancer. For thousands of years, mankind’s pursuit of nicotine has never stopped. It can be said that all living things like the feeling of rest. In today’s busy and noisy living environment, stress has become the biggest cause of sudden death. In order to keep our lives alive, I think it is worth it to have the strength to fight, take a proper rest, and be infected by nicotine. Finally, let’s talk about the price

Pick the important answers: 1. Cigarettes are purely industrial products. In addition to tobacco leaves, they are also wrapped with combustion-supporting paper. Many condiments are added to the shredded tobacco to satisfy different tastes. There are two types of cigars: machine-made and handmade. But there are no additives. Cigars are divided into three parts: wrapper, cap and filler. Machine-made cigar fillers may be made from crushed tobacco leaves. But the ones that are made by hand are all rolled by hand, and they are basically rolled from whole tobacco leaves. Tobacco leaves need to be fermented. There will be a famous "reader" in every Cuban rolling workshop who will recite classics to the craftsmen. 2. Cigarettes are produced regardless of their origin. Cigars are very particular about their place of origin. They are divided into two categories: "Cuban" and "non-Cuba" (made outside Cuba, mainly Honduras, Dominica, etc.) 3. Cigarettes enter the lungs, but cigars cannot reach the lungs! 4. Cigarettes can be smoked at any time, and cigars must be smoked with enough free time, so cigars of different diameters and lengths have different tasting times. 5. Cigarettes will ignite spontaneously if you don’t smoke them, and cigars will burn out if you don’t smoke them. There will be a smell of tobacco oil. It is best to finish the cigar in one go. Do not smoke it continuously, as it will affect the taste.

I don’t smoke, but I have always liked reading books and looking through dictionaries since I was a child... "Cigar" is a polyphonic word that was translated fifty years ago. The biggest difference between it and cigarettes is that cigars It is a living thing, and cigarettes are not alive. Cigars are similar to wine, Pu'er tea and other drinks. They will become more fragrant over time... You can often hear friends say, "Buy a good wine and keep it, buy cakes and tea, and keep it. Of course you can Buying a box of cigars to keep at home is also a very luxurious thing. First of all, a cigar cabinet (Figure 4 5 6) is a big expense. It requires constant temperature, constant humidity, ventilation and other indicators, and it must be cedar from Canada. A series of stringent requirements for wood, etc. Cigars are originally a kind of native tobacco smoked by the indigenous people of South America. Since they were discovered by Columbus in the Age of Discovery and brought back to Europe, they have been turned into luxury goods by the royal family and nobles. Cigars have also become a way of life for the "upper class", especially Prime Minister Churchill, who frequently appeared in blockbusters during World War II, holding a huge cigar between two fat carrot-like fingers - he led English fought against the German fascists who were armed to the teeth. Such a cigarette was cast with the magical color of winning if he dared to fight. He only loved the "Romeo No. 2" cigars produced in Cuba. Relevant information shows that even in the England, which was blockaded into an "isolated island" by German Seawolf submarines, receives two thousand "important strategic materials - Romeo No. 2 cigars" from Cuba every year. Figure 9 Most Chinese people like this cigarette. It is also related to this.

Secondly, it is also very different from cigarettes in the way of smoking. Cigarettes are smoked into the lungs, while the smoke of cigars is tasted in the mouth. , and then spit it out. Some smokers even said that this cigarette was "exclusive"... I have experienced this. More than 40 years ago, my father smoked "Double Happiness pipe tobacco" in the house, and the smoke he exhaled smelled... It really has such a sweet smell.

In fact, the harm of "second-hand smoke" cannot be ignored!

Cigars are fermented and cannot be inhaled into the lungs. Inhale in a small cycle. After inhaling halfway to the throat, spit it out and taste the aroma of the smoke, which is the same as that of a pipe. Cigarettes can be smoked in any way

You can consider them from multiple dimensions such as price, smoking, health, storage, occasion and feelings.

1. Price

From a practical point of view, price is a decisive factor in whether to enter the cigar pit. The price of a handmade cigar is dozens or even hundreds of times that of a cigarette. This is inseparable from the complex production process of cigars (more than 200 hands). To taste cigars, you must also pair them with drinks, such as whiskey (single malt whiskey has become crazy recently), tea, coffee, etc. If you plan to enjoy it for a long time, every time A monthly budget of several thousand yuan is considered normal.

2. Smoking

There is no need to enter the lungs to smoke tobacco. A small amount of nicotine and tar can enter the blood through capillaries. When smoking tobacco, it can be "smoked" in the mouth and then spit out. The taste The cigar is also extremely rich and layered. In addition to the main flavor of each cigar, there will also be other flavors sandwiched in the front, middle and back sections. Paired with appropriate drinks, the taste will be richer and fuller.

3. Health

First of all, there is no doubt that smoking is harmful to health, but cigars are made of pure tobacco (the cap of Cuban cigars is made of maple leaf resin) Sticky) without any additives, which is completely different from cigarettes. The various flavors of cigarettes are synthesized through various additives. Furthermore, from the point of not entering the lungs when smoked, it can be clearly judged that cigars are better than cigarettes. Cigarettes are much less harmful to the human body.

4. Storage

Unlike cigarettes, cigars are extremely delicate and need to be kept in an environment of constant temperature and humidity - "raising cigars". If the storage is not good, the wrapper will be involved. A series of disasters such as damage, difficulty in smoking, mold, etc. seriously affect the experience of tasting tomatoes.

4. Occasion

Taking a typical cigar model - Robusto, the smoking time is about 45 minutes to 1 hour (if you want a model like the Giant Crown, it is estimated It takes at least one and a half hours), so tasting tomato is not a process that can quickly solve the craving for cigarettes anywhere, but requires time, space and a suitable occasion to enjoy it slowly.

5. Feeling

Nowadays, cigars have formed a culture and a circle in China, whether it is passers-by who pretend to be sexy, or gentlemen who really enjoy it, or because of People who enter the trap for social needs have found their own value in the cigar circle.

I have thought of these points for the time being and if I have written anything inappropriate, please share my thoughts with me!

1. What are the differences between growing tobacco:

a. Cigarettes have relatively low requirements for tobacco leaves. When planting the plants, you only need to ensure that the soil is fertile and not disturbed by pests. The tobacco leaves are large and of good quality and can be used to produce paper cigarettes. However, this type of tobacco plants often use chemical fertilizers, pesticides, etc. to assist the growth of the plants! Exclusively for Yuhua Stone 200/piece, exclusive for Hetianxia 340/piece

b. Cigars have relatively high requirements for their tobacco leaves. Chemical ingredients are not allowed to be involved in soil plowing, planting, and pest control. Take insect pest defense as an example. When tobacco leaves are infested by insect pests, the first thing to do is to apply pesticides, or apply pesticide defense before pest infestation.

However, the tobacco leaves required for rolling cigars can only be protected from pests through experience and physical measures during the plowing, sowing, harvesting, drying, and aging processes.

2. What are the differences in the production process:

a. To make cigarettes, the tobacco required for cigarettes is to crush tobacco leaves, and then add some chemical ingredients (such as flavors, combustion-supporting agents, etc.), and finally use machinery for mass production.

b. Cigar making (refers to hand-made cigars made from whole tobacco leaves). Before rolling, the tobacco leaves must go through processes such as air-drying, fermentation, and alcoholization before being sent to the production workshop. The tobacco leaves must be whole tobacco leaves, and different parts of the cigar are rolled, and the requirements for the tobacco leaves are different.

For example, if the eggplant core, eggplant sleeve, wrapper, eggplant cap and other parts are placed on a plant, they will correspond to the light leaf segment, dry leaf segment, and light leaf segment of the plant.

Tobacco Talk 8

There are mixed cigarettes and flue-cured cigarettes, but they all contain various spices in the shredded tobacco. Cigarettes are easy to carry and smoke your lungs. Cigars can be handmade, semi-handmade, or machine-made. Most of the popular cigars nowadays are purely handmade Cuban cigars. This kind of cigar is made from whole tobacco leaves that are naturally fermented, without adding any spices, and rolled by hand. Smoking cigars is also very particular. There are special cutting tools, humidors, and rich people even have special places for smoking cigars. Although the cigar smoke does not pass through the lungs, its subtle substances pass through the mouth and go up to the ceiling. Go deeper into the human body. Some people say that smoking cigars is less harmful to the body than smoking cigarettes. In fact, they are all the same, but the parts of the human body hurt are different, and they still cause great harm to the human body. And once you get used to smoking cigars, it's harder to quit than smoking cigarettes.

Big men like Churchill never leave their hands with cigars all day long. Do you think how addicted they are to smoking?

One sucks it in, the other doesn’t.
