Mixed Filler
AnatomyEnglish
Definition
Blend of long-filler leaf and short filler in the same cigar, also sold as medium filler or a Cuban sandwich. Long leaf provides structure and draw while the scrap fills volume at lower cost.
Why it matters
Mixed filler lets a factory sell a hand-rolled cigar at a lower price, but expect a faster burn and less consistency than full long filler.
In context
"These are a Cuban sandwich, mixed filler, and they smoke better than the price suggests."
