The difference in color between the two is very eye-catching, hence the name “barber-pole”. This type of cigar is less common because it costs a lot of money and time to produce. Only the best and most experienced cigar rollers are needed to roll barber-pole style, which means these cigars are a delicacy every cigar lover should smoke at least once.
