Cinnamon Cassia Cigars is the dried bark of cassia which is a small, bushy, ever green tree, 18-20 mtr high and 40-60 cm diameter with a straight and cylindrical trunk and grey brown bark, 13-15mm thick when mature.
Source - Cinnamon was found growing wild in the high altitude areas of Northeast India, especially in the Khasi & Jaintia hills of Meghalaya.
The cinnamon harvested from this region is full of flavour and is of a superior variety (according to the NorthEast Institute of Science and Technology, NEIST) with the characteristic warm, pungent sweetness that this spice is known for. It is grown at altitudes up to 300 mtr MSL with a mean daily temperature of about 23 degree C and an annual rainfall of 1250 mm in about 135 wet days. It is a light demanding tree, slightly shade tolerant when young, preferring cool and wet condition.
