Shortfiller description:

The typical Dutch cigar (shortfiller) distinguishes itself from other cigars as the filler is made of a blend of tobaccos from Indonesia, Brazil and Cuba.

Traditional short-filler cigars consist of a melange of chopped tobacco leaves inside, surrounded by a binder where eventually a wrapper is wrapped around.
