This is a very cool video of a Cuban master cigar roller rolling a cigar from scratch.
http://www.mycigarblog.com/blog/archives/000103.html
The footage was shot during the recent visit of Master Roller Mr. Hamlet Jaime Paredes. Working in the Partagas factory in Havana, Cuba for the last 10 years, Mr. Paredes is one of the youngest ever Master Rollers to have won the Partagas Anniversary Master Cigar Roller Competition (2001). When he won it, he was just 26.
In the video below, you will see Mr. Paredes roll a salomon vitola, the hardest vitola to roll among all cigars, from scratch. This cigar now sits comfortably in my humidor - it’ll be a couple of years before it’ll be ready to smoke.
The video was shot by Baizura Shaari, one of the many people who had a camera during the cigar rolling demonstration, but the only one with the presence of mind to use it to take a digital video. Shot over a span of 16 short video clips, the video was stitched together using Apple’s iMovie. Background music is a traditional Malay tune that just happens to fit in perfectly.
