The fermented tobacco leaves are individually placed on burlap and each layer is stacked over another. They are moved to a different section of the curing house where the tobacco for the cigars ages for years. The temperature and humidity are regulated by nature and by the opening and closing of windows and vents in the aging room. Normally, the tobacco is aged for two to three years before it is manipulated again. This process mellows the tobacco’s components and transforms it into smooth and flavorful smoking cigars.
