Back in the 70's I used to watch a Cuban gentleman roll cigars in Key West up by Mallory Square . he was a real artist . that place is long gone and Key West looks like an amusement park now, but I still have it in my memory.

@@BlissCigarCo to can understand why YOUR cigars are expensive but not the machine rolled. Tobacco companies ruined tobacco for the sake of money

@Hadrian9707 5 күн бұрын

Yep, it be like that. I got into smoking cigars at around last Christmas. They can range from $8-$12 per cigar, but can go as high as $20+ per cigar I believe. Most you'll find are usually around the $8-$12 mark though. Rarely will you run into a cigar which is $20. I did some research on them beforehand and saw how most cigars are handrolled so I always appreciate the look and taste notes, and I never had a problem with the pricing. What these people do to make them is truly a work of art. Cigars and pipe smoking is how tobacco was always meant to be smoked. Just puffing on some pure tobacco and relaxing while enjoying the taste/aroma~ Tobacco companies ruined that...

It is an honor to see this work being done with such attention and skill. The film can't capture what it must feel like with the hands, but I can imagine it. And this surely must be the aspect which requires the most experience, to feel when the leaves are pressed together firmly and evenly but not too tight. It looks the same whether you do it well or badly, but what a difference it makes, what a triumph, to do it well. When I smoke a cigar, I give it my full respect and attention. I think what a gift it is, that a wise person could make this, that we are keeping this tradition and this way of life.

I used to work a lot of tobacco when I was younger. Setting, cutting, hanging, stripping. All of it. I worked with a man in his 70s who was tougher than nails. The kind of guy you could tell wasn't going to die until he was damn good and ready. Kind of guy that treated his open wounds with kerosene and shit like that. Long story short, he would go out to the barns before the tobacco was even fully cured and grab himself down some tobacco and roll himself a cigar right there. What he didn't smoke he chewed. I asked him to make me one one day thinking I was tough. I took one drag off of it and nearly passed out. Man was a beast.
