Is a nice close up of a Cigar Roller working with the Maduro cigars.

A nice close up of some cigar boxes being smoothed down.

A nice view of a drying barn.

A bunch of leaves that have been dried and waiting to be sorted later. As you can see the cigar smoke in the picture.

Excellent posts...

 

[Mr Peat]

Bunch of people sorting and possibly pulling the major stems out of the tobacco leaf.

On the right side of the chalkboard is a diagram of the Primings of the Tobacco Plant.

Some Outlaw Customers looking at dried leaves.

A nice selection of dried leaves on a rack.

Leaves being sorted by color and condition of the leaves.

A big pile of shredded tobacco leaves.

A guy spraying the dried leaves with water.

A greenhouse filled with young tobacco plants that was like a week old or so.

Bunch of tobacco seeds in a little container worth a tad over $4000.

As you can see a ton of tobacco plants healthy and planted.

Almost fully developed plants that was going to be harvested soon.

Roller working on Maduro Cigars that we all enjoy at one time or another.

Same roller as above but one can see the extra clippings off of previously rolled cigars.

This was a shot of what I was smoking (thanks to a great brother on this board) on the last day of my honeymoon in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. A trip I won't soon forget!

*Note: the cigars listed with an asterisk were from Devin to put in the pass and we have a little inside contest going. I think I know what most of these are, but the perfectos are confusing me and he hasn't given up the info as to what they are. So, if you are interested in any of the * cigars, contact Devin for the identities.....

In tribute of Jose Marti, a direct ancestor of mine. I think of this literally each time I set flame to an ISOM. Personal to me for many, including the obvious familial, reasons.

Cuba Libre.
