    Translating from Spanish as snake, the Culebra comprises three to four separate cigars generally rolled into 6 x 38 Panatela size, essentially petite lanceros purposefully underfilled with tobacco and over-moistened to make them pliable. This enhanced flexibility allows the three cigars making up the shape to better withstand the process of braiding, with each one coiled around the others to create an intertwined whole, its extra moisture content ensuring that the wrappers don't split during the braid. After the three are unified, the Culebra is tied at the head and foot with twine and allowed to age and its excess moisture evaporate, locking each strand of the braid into a distinctive, gnarled shape.
