From Crop to Shop

Ever since Christopher Columbus introduced the tobacco plant to the rest of the world, the cigar maker's art has been constantly refined. It is a story about meticulous precision and care. And about five centuries of thoroughgoing quality - packed into its elegant form.

THIS IS THE BEST BREAKDOWN OF CIGARS EVER!

[@marctemura2017]

Wait some of the best tobacco leaves are grown in the State of Connecticut, in the United States.

It really gives you a sense of awe and true appreciation for the time, work, experience and passion that goes into making a cigar.

For an 8 year old video the cinematography is insane; it felt like watching a mini movie.

[@B1t3hih8u]

Can’t say the same for the narration

[@plusebo]

what do you think they only came out with 1080p and camera work in the last two years?

[@CincySmokeSignals]

Cigars are art in one of its purest forms. The effort it takes to make one is insane. Farmers tending daily, fermenting and aging, blenders painstakingly sifting through different batches of leaf from different countries, rolleros rolling. It amazes me and makes me happy.

[@AnyMotoUSA]

I love it, now I'm going to try and grow tobacco this year. Fermentation scares me a bit, but I have years ahead of me to figure it out. I think I'll appreciate the process of learning

this is one of the best, maybe the best documentary i‘ve seen on this platform yet. not at all into cigars i was only curious to learn how tobacco plants were grown and i stumbled upon this masterpiece. cinematography, storytelling and sentiment are on point. this is much appreciated. please netflix sign this human to produce all sorts of documentaries!

[@phill.2924]

"Like a well-adjusted corset, the binder holds the filler." No better comparison exists in this world.

[@charlespartak2435]

I have grown my own tobacco and roll my own cigars. I followed cuban master roller or " torcedor" Tim Torres. In his words, a cigar should be able to be smoked in a properly applied binder alone , the wrapper is " like a dress on a beautiful woman. " thats like poetry.

[@keshermedia]

Well done! 👍👍👍

[@jerrenortonjr.7405]

Simply outstanding, makes me appreciate this expensive experience even more

I cut "baccer"in Kentucky interesting how we harvested it. we faced a certain direction ( not sure if this was his fobia ) used a tomahawk type hatchett and cut close to the ground, took the stalk and mashed it to the stake. 5 per stake. then we hung the stakes on a tractor pulled wagon ( especially made for baccer hangin )we took them to the the barn and hung them. he said his baccer was sold as type c and would bring in the going price but not a great price.

[@BuffaloNickel9]

[@charlespartak2435]

100% The U.S. very mistakenly lumps fine cigar tobacco with that of cigarettes which is highly molested with hazardous chemicals. A well grown and fermented cigar variety leaf is akin to well aged and prepared prime rib beef...whereas cigarettes, more like a mcdonalds hamburger . Way over processed .

[@typhoonjenkins8330]

I'd say that probablt half of the cigar smokers in the world have no idea how much aging time, and actual labor goes into every single cigar. I've been smoking cgars for 40 plus years, and even though i don't care for mild cigars, A Davidoff every once in a great while is nice. I've tried their "stronger, more full bodied blends, but they're still not there for my taste. I've had a bunch of AVO stuff over the last year or three that are mostlu Nicaraguan and those things are the real deal. I believe Kelner makes them as well, the dude he makes Davidoffs.

Cant really say i am excited about the product, as i never ever smoked, smoking was seen as a sign of personal weakness and weak mind where i come from. but i do recognize the effort and time put into this, so let me ask you: if you dont put so much effort into getting people addiced to smoke, but into art, research, proper landusage without soil degradation and literally anything else, wouldnt you be more or equally successfull???
