What is the difference between premium and machine-made cigar brands? Premium cigar brands produce handmade cigars using long-filler tobacco, natural binder, and natural wrapper leaf. Machine-made brands use short-filler and often homogenized tobacco sheets. The flavor, construction, and smoking experience are dramatically different. For the full breakdown see our premium vs machine-made comparison and what is considered a premium cigar.

What was JFK's favorite cigar? President John F. Kennedy was known to favor the Petit Upmann by H. Upmann.
