A cigar on an occasion won't kill you. Especially a high price one now and then for a celebration.

Back in the 70's I used to watch a Cuban gentleman roll cigars in Key West up by Mallory Square . he was a real artist . that place is long gone and Key West looks like an amusement park now, but I still have it in my memory.

@Hadrian9707

Yep, it be like that. I got into smoking cigars at around last Christmas. They can range from $8-$12 per cigar, but can go as high as $20+ per cigar I believe. Most you'll find are usually around the $8-$12 mark though. Rarely will you run into a cigar which is $20. I did some research on them beforehand and saw how most cigars are handrolled so I always appreciate the look and taste notes, and I never had a problem with the pricing. What these people do to make them is truly a work of art. Cigars and pipe smoking is how tobacco was always meant to be smoked. Just puffing on some pure tobacco and relaxing while enjoying the taste/aroma~ Tobacco companies ruined that...

incredible to watch someone do what they're great at. this is so interesting. I never would have guessed this is how cigars were rolled

It is an honor to see this work being done with such attention and skill. The film can't capture what it must feel like with the hands, but I can imagine it. And this surely must be the aspect which requires the most experience, to feel when the leaves are pressed together firmly and evenly but not too tight. It looks the same whether you do it well or badly, but what a difference it makes, what a triumph, to do it well. When I smoke a cigar, I give it my full respect and attention. I think what a gift it is, that a wise person could make this, that we are keeping this tradition and this way of life.
