Cigar manufacturing involves several key steps, starting with the cultivation of tobacco plants. The leaves are harvested, cured, and fermented to develop their flavor. Once ready, the leaves are sorted by size and quality, which is crucial for the final product. Next, skilled artisans, known as torcedores, roll the tobacco leaves into cigars by hand. They use a combination of filler, binder, and wrapper leaves to create a balanced smoke. After rolling, the cigars are aged in controlled environments to enhance their taste before being packaged for sale.
