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.
