Q & A

"Toothy" cigars

Monday, November 29 1999

Q. What is meant by "toothy", especially in reference to a cigar's wrapper?
- C. Bilek

A. "Toothy," as opposed to "toothsome," which means tasty, or flavorful, refers to a leaf that is more coarse in texture; often used when referring to Maduro and Cameroon wrappers, which are naturally "toothier."
