R&D Cigars (research and development) is a multi-year cigar making and educational project founded by Tobacconist University (TU). The goal was to research unique and interesting tobaccos and create cigars along with educational content related to the ingredients, agriculture, manufacturing and cigar makers involved. Educational content, including history, images and video were posted in the R&D Lab on the TU website. All R&D Cigars also had the component/ingredient tobaccos rolled separately as small puros to educate your mind and palate.
