The cigar consists of cut tobacco, the so-called filler, around which the wrapper is rolled, a pre-processed tobacco leaf. Then one has a so-called doll (Z.Neth.) or tuft (N.Neth). The wrapper is then wrapped around this, after which the cigar is complete.

The used tobacco was moistened and the filler rolled in the binder into a model called doll. This was done in a cigar mould consisting of twenty boats.
