Thread: Gluten in cigars?

I invited a friend of mine out for a cigar night the other day, and he declined. His reason was because of his gluten reaction. He said that last time he smoked, he had a bad reaction from the cigar because of his gluten problem (forgot what it was called). He also said that the exterior leaf was sealed using a flower based paste. Does anyone know if this is true, and if there are brands who's cigars don't contain gluten?

Thank you for the input guys.

I'm friends with a cigar company owner. I'll text him and ask. I think he is even at the factory

It's time for new monkey servants.

I don't know about gluten, but I do know food grade fruit pectin is used as an adhesive. In fact, I have a small bottle of it mixed up to use as cigar "glue" for repairs to damaged cigars.
