This is the body of the cigar sometimes called the canon.
Helpful?           0
The main body of the cigar, between the head and foot. In high-quality cigars the cigar body should be straight and smooth. Any visible leaf canes or other blemishes, including some roughness, indicates a low-quality cigar. A cigar's barrel should also be elastic. If you lightly press a cigar between your fingers, you should not feel any stiff areas. The stiffness may be due to very tight rolling, which will negatively affect the cigar suction and burning. However, a cigar that is too soft can burn too quickly. Single stiff spots can be treated with careful and gentle finger work. See also Body.
