Toothy??? Define please

[dpricenator]

Of course this is in regards to the wrapper description I read ever so often. Not like this:grin:

jagged edges maybee???? Never used this one before, but possibly used to describe the foot of the cigar. Did you wikipedia it or google it or....

 

[dpricenator]

yeah I keep seeing "this toothy cigar" the "wrapper is toothy" and "oily toothy cigar" What the F is toothy?

 

[Benzopyrene]

Found it.
Antique Finish: In paper, a toothy, open texture, usually giving a hand-crafted look.

So its like those hand made papers that arent smooth, but have this awkard texture to them. Like the peel of a pear or olives. etc

 

[earnold25]

means bumpy as far as i can tell. padron's are typically very toothy. opposite of toothy would be silky or smooth, like many Connecticut shade wrappers.

Ok so the wrappers that have the little fuzz or small burrs on them. Looks like 5 o'clock shadow if you look across the ciagr. Yeah?

Not the white fuzz, smart ass. :rofl: :rofl: I'm laughing to hard to say any thing else.

Like the chicken pox on your wrapper

 

[earnold25]

chicken pox on the wrapper is a better description than fuzz. i don't think cigars should ever be fuzzy at all.

 

[jwintosh]

yep,,, like goose bumps! the more jagged the bumps, the more toothier! imho!!

 

[Benzopyrene]

just the uneven sandpaper looking texture

From Cigar Afficianado, posted in the other thread as well:

Q: What exactly is tooth? Which cigar is the toothiest?

A: Tooth describes the small, oil-filled pockets common to sun-grown, Sumatra-seed wrapper.

Cameroon wrapper is the toothiest tobacco, but tooth can also be found in wrapper from Indonesia, Mexico and Ecuador. It's generally considered very desirable because the oils in tobacco are the source of its flavor. Toothy wrapper equals oily wrapper, and often a more flavorful cigar.
