stogies

Stogies, also known as stogies or stogie, are a type of cigar that originated in the United States. They are typically made from a blend of tobacco leaves, including Virginia, Maryland, and Connecticut, and are known for their mild flavor and smooth burn. Stogies are usually medium to full-bodied in size, with a ring gauge of 50 to 54, and are often wrapped in a natural tobacco leaf binder. The term "stogie" is believed to have originated from the word "stocking," as the cigars were often worn in stockings during the 19th century. Stogies are popular among cigar enthusiasts for their versatility and affordability, and are often enjoyed as a social or after-dinner cigar. They are available in a variety of shapes, including the traditional torpedo shape, as well as other shapes such as the panetela and Churchill. Stogies are typically aged for a period of time before being sold, which helps to develop their flavor and smoothness.
