The cigar has yellow or green spots – what is that?
Cigars are a natural product. As with all natural products, occasional irregularities such as discolouration of the wrapper may occur.

- Yellow spots: Yellow spots on the cigar wrapper. Yellow or black spots occur when the humidity is too low or too high during the drying process in the tobacco barn.
Important: The spots have no flavour of their own and therefore do not adversely affect the cigar’s aroma.
A detailed description of the two types of spots can be found here: Spots on the wrapper.
