If you look at a womans breast up close like that you will see hairs too. Just saying.

Lol I know that much but I am wondering what it is. Tobacco fibers? What conditions allow for this to happen?

[SmokeyJoe]

That cigar is obviously not Brazilian! :D ;)

Need some bikini wax?

I have never noticed fibers like that on a cigar... beware of "mesothelioma."

[Zeuceone]

Looks like a mold infestation. Send me your collection so I can properly dispose of them

Nair then?

[BTcigars]

Thanks for everyone's input, even the disturbing pic, but its not mold. I didn't see the fibers until I looked at the cigar in sunlight. You can only see the fibers under the right light and its the same color of the wrapper. Plus it has a crystalline esque appearence because it looks kind of, well shiny crystals when you turn it and catch the light just the right way.

Since I do have another one of these coronas left, I might have to take a Lady Schick to it to "trim that thing!" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAk77Kr_OwQ&feature=player_embedded)

[BTcigars]

Nair burns, bro! :sl :r

[sikk50]

In all seriousness, its just part of the leaf. Sometimes they're like that, Idk why

[shilala]

Most plant material is fibrous, you're just seeing it. Think cotton, hemp, flax. I suppose cotton is a poor example, but you should get the gist.

Hairy tobacco leaf:

[BTcigars]

Very interesting, thanks for the info guys!

[Tio Gato]

Those little fuzzys are called "tooth" in the wrapper world.
Nothing to worry about, enjoy that hairy thing.:)

[justonemorestick]

I have noticed that on my Arganese sticks too but the hairs are just part of the leaf smoke it and dont worry besides whats a playground with out a little grass?

[Tio Gato]

Opps, I was wrong about the "tooth". A Google search shows I'm wrong.;s

[jmsremax]

Interesting....I will have to check my box and see if my sticks I just got have this too.

[OLS]

That's a sign of a good oily wrapper, and the hairs proturde from oil sacs in the leaf. You would have noticed
also that there were white spots in on the ash that stood out for their brightness and "3D" nature. That's what they
call a"tooth" on a wrapper.

Actually there wasnt any evident tooth in the ash. I was surprised by this because I was expecting it.

It's this thing that feels like a bag of sand.

i'm thinking that the fibers are from the burlap that tobacco is often wrapped in. or maybe the cigar is finally becoming a man.

I choose that as the official explanation! :noon

i am certain of the accuracy of this statement.

[STEVE S]

There is nothing wrong, go ahead and smoke the cigar before the hair gets any longer.

I'm with Brad. I've always known this to be called the tooth of a wrapper leaf. Cameroon wrappers are known to be more "toothy" than most others. Toothiness in no way affects the way the cigar smokes.
