Differences between Filtered Cigars and Cigarettes

Filtered Cigars and Cigarettes are alike in design and in taste to a certain extent. However, the truth is that there are many differences between the two. To start with, cigars contain more damaging additives and also attract a heavy tax everywhere. Due to this they are very expensive. On the other hand, filtered cigars are created with cent percent tobacco and have lesser additives in them compared to cigarettes. 

Moreover, more tobacco is used in the making process which is the reason why they are heavier or bigger. Due to their weight, filtered cigars have been categorized as large filtered cigars instead of cigarettes or cigarillos or small cigars by the government. This is the reason why they are much more economical than the regular cigarette packets. In addition, filtered cigars don’t make use of a white paper that is used in cigarettes. In its place, they make use of a tobacco wrapper that is machine made. And this wrapper is usually the brown colored wrapper that you can see in most of the filtered cigars. 

The filtered cigars can be acquired from the cigar store at a very affordable price and they are available in a number of brands so that you can pick the one you like. A good thing about these cigars is that they are available in many flavors such as Full flavor, light, peach, cherry, menthol, and strawberry and so on. If you are unsure whether you will like them or not, then get your hands on filtered cigar samplers initially and then you can go for a particular brand after you develop a liking for them.
