It seems to me that it would be easy to put a bunch of random leaves together and make a cigar that tastes different to the next guys. However, the art of blending, and the skill of talented blenders is being able to choose very specific leaves and bring them together in order to achieve a predetermined result

A monkey could choose leaves at random and call it a cigar blend. But to be able to predict what specific leaf combination will produce a specific profile and then produce that cigar is what it is to be a true blender. It is something that comes from a life of working with tobaccos.
