• The next step for cigars is the ageing room. This room is temperature and humidity controlled to make sure that the different types of tobacco ' marry' and create a more balanced smoke

​

• The finished cigars are grouped into bundles of fifty and wrapped in absorbent paper allowing them the ability to breathe

​

• Most factories age their cigars for at least twenty one days and some leave them in the ageing room for anywhere up to one hundred and eighty days

​

• After ageing the cigars are selected for each box, checked for fine gradations in wrapper leaf colour. All cigars must be the same colour in each box
