Seconds
Cigars that are rejected by manufacturers
for a variety of reasons are frequently sold as "seconds".
They ar often packaged economically, and sold at a
significant discount to the company's firsts. The
flaws, however, may be so insignificant that the seconds
represent an excellent value.
Scrap Filler
Left over tobacco cuttings used as
filler for inexpensive cigars.
Shade Leaf
Tobacco grown under a canopy of cheese-cloth
or mesh to shield it from the sun. Most often used
in reference to Connecticut shade leaf wrapper.
Short Filler
Not the same as scrap filler, short
filler is made of premium tobacco long filler leaves
cut to a smaller size so they can be used in small
cigars or in manufacturing by machines.
Smoker
Broadly defined, a cigar smoking event.
This can be an elaborate meal with wines and cigars
for each course, or a more informal gathering of like
minded cigar aficianados.

Slang for cigar, often inexpensive.
Invented in 1827 and smoked by frontiersmen heading
west, the cigar was said to resemble the spke of a
Conestoga wagon wheel. First the cigar was called
Conestoga, and then it was shortened to "Stogie".
