Welcome to Helix Cigars.com
Helix cigars were
introduced in 2002, and are becoming more and more popular with beginner
smokers. The Helix cigar is mild and satisfying as well as inexpensive.
Developed in Honduras using a blend of aged tobaccos, Helix created a light
smooth flavor, while other popular producers were creating rich strong flavors
more experienced smokers would enjoy.
The filler tobacco in the Helix cigar is a mix of Dominican, Honduran Talanga
and Brazilian Mata Fina tobacco. The binder used is made from Cuban leaves grown
in Mexico. It burns smoothly and is semi-sweet. The wrapper, from which it takes
its name, is a Connecticut Shade Grown. Every tobacco used by Helix is aged for
at least 3 years and the wrapper leaf is aged for five. The end result is worth
the wait for the smooth, relaxing flavor of the Helix cigar.
Helix cigars rank 'good to excellent'. A dark, oil wrapper, they have a considerable tooth. Helix maduro cigars, have woody flavors with a hint of coffee bean spice on the finish. It has an easy draw and good burn, along with a solid gray ash.
What is the difference between hand rolled and machine made cigars?
Handmade Cigars - The entire cigar is completely
made by hand from start to finish. The cigar is bunched, rolled and trimmed by individuals.
The work can be split between a buncher and a roller working on the same cigar,
or it may be one person working alone. Premium cigars are handmade cigars.
Machine-made Cigars - The filler, binder and wrapper are all assembled by machine. These are quality cigars with good flavor and aroma. The price can be a lot less, unlike handmade cigars.
Machine Bunched/Hand Rolled Cigars - These are priced accordingly and the best of both worlds. The filler is bunched by machine and then is turned over to a cigar roller, who wraps it by hand. The technique is often referred to as machine bunched.
