The Miserable Mind of Marcardus: August 2010

Cuban cigars are rolled from tobacco leaves found throughout Cuba. The filler, binder, and wrapper may come from different portions of the island. All production of cigars in Cuba is controlled by the Cuban government, and each brand may be rolled in several different factories in Cuba. Cuban cigar rollers or "torcedores" are claimed by cigar experts to be the most skilled rollers in the world. Torcedores are highly respected in Cuban society and culture and travel worldwide displaying their art of hand rolling cigars.
There is nothing better than rolling through customs from Mexico with a couple boxes of Cuban Puros and a couple dozen too many bottles of Tequilla clanking around in your suitcase. It almost makes you feel like you're doing somthing dangerous.
