Claims13
A modular cigar comprising:
- a removable end cap;
- an inner bound module including a filler enclosed in a binder leaf to secure the loose filler;
- and
- an outer wrapper means for repeatedly coupling and decoupling with the outside of the inner bound module by unrolling and rerolling without damage to the outer wrapper means, which is biased to a rolled position, so that the outer wrapper means creates an adhesive-free coupling with the inner filler module,
- wherein the outer wrapper means comprises a wrapper leaf with a main vein extending longitudinally along a length of the wrapper leaf, wherein in the rolled position coupled to the inner bound module, the main vein extends in parallel to a longitudinal axis of the modular cigar.

A method for making a module cigar comprising:
- creating an inner bound module including a loose filler enclosed in a binder leaf to secure the loose filler;
- creating an outer wrapper that is predisposed to be in a rolled position for repeatedly coupling and decoupling, without damage to the outer wrapper, with the outside of the inner bound module by unrolling and rerolling the outer wrapper to form an adhesive-free coupling;
- and
- providing a removable end cap,
- wherein the outer wrapper comprises a wrapper leaf with a main vein extending longitudinally along a length of the wrapper leaf, wherein in the rolled position coupled to the inner bound module, the main vein extends in parallel to a longitudinal axis of the modular cigar.
