Cigar tobacco paper and a method for packaging the same

Abstract

A cigar tobacco paper and a method for packaging the same is provided. The cigar tobacco paper is packaged with a tapered tubular means to hold a shape of the cigar tobacco paper. The cigar tobacco paper is rolled into a plurality of layers and placed within a tapered tubular means. The tubular means may be formed over the rolled tobacco paper or may be formed prior to insertion of the tobacco paper into the tubular means. The tubular means is tapered at its end points which in turn causes the cigar tobacco paper to be tapered to correspond to the shape of the tubular means. The tubular means may have a plurality of pieces that may be united to form the complete tubular means. The pieces of the tubular means may make insertion and extraction of the cigar tobacco paper easier. The encased tobacco paper within the tubular means allows for the tobacco paper to keep a rolled shape until delivered and used by a consumer. The tubular means may maintain the moisture and the flavor of the cigar tobacco paper prior to delivery to a consumer.
