DESCRIPTION: This
video will explore the making of a handmade, premium cigar. Narrated
by Doc Stogie Fresh, you will see the processes in preparing
and producing a fine cigar.
After the tobacco has been
grown, picked, cured, fermented, and aged, it is ready to be
assembled into cigars. This video shows how the wrapper, binder
and filler leaves are prepared and then put together into cigars.
Different techniques for bunching and rolling the cigars are
also demonstrated.
