It's all in the wrapper and binding
The wrapper serves as the out most layer that holds everything together but the binder is the one that holds the magical Cuban tobacco in perfect condition.If you cigar didn't have a binder on it that was properly rolled than the tobacco in it will simply fall off.
These wrappers are usually oily and if they are not, your Cuban cigars are too dry. If the binder is the chassis that holds the 'tobacco muscle', than the wrapper is the beautiful exterior of your 'Lamborghini' cigar. Yes I know that analogy makes sense now doesn't it.
No wonder that growing the wrapper is the hardest part and process in the Cuban cigar construction. Everything else is hard too but when it comes to creating the finest most perfect wrapper, it takes the longest. Cuban cigar construction is complex, it's not something you can roll by yourself.
It is down right impossible to make a 'good' cigar without a binder. That is why when people try Cuban cigars, they are just so overwhelmed by the consistency. Cuban cigars are consistent throughout for a reason because it is a tradition that every one follows in Cuban and has been for a long time.
