A cigar factory is a facility where cigars are produced, typically involving the cultivation, harvesting, and processing of tobacco leaves. Workers, known as torcedores, hand-roll the cigars using specific techniques to ensure quality and consistency. The process often includes aging the tobacco to enhance flavor. Cigar factories can vary in size, from small artisanal shops to large industrial operations. Many factories also offer tours, allowing visitors to learn about the cigar-making process and the history of cigars. These establishments play a significant role in the tobacco industry and contribute to the cultural heritage of regions known for cigar production.
