Half and hour to 45 minutes for a corona gorda!

Seriously! A Corona Gorda usually takes me an hour and a half, maybe hour 15 at least.

Great interview though Pres. I look forward to the rest.

Oh and good editing Smithy. Too bad you can't cut out that airplane...

[El Presidente]

RAMSES IS A CORONA GORDA GUY

30 minute for a corona gorda! this is a man after my own heart... i burn those down quite quick too.

[Colt45]

Great stuff It makes me think a little differently about cigars - ligero as the backbone or spine, and seco as the flesh.

It's also always great to be reminded of the faces behind the cigars.......

[brian1]

Very interesting and informative. Good work guys.

[ckearns]

D4's here I come!!!!!

'good quality Seco is where the magic comes from' - I couldn't agree more. I prefer a flavorful cigar over a strong one any time!

This part of the interview reminded me of what I was thinking when visiting Cuba: Talking to Cubans in comparison to many vendors I know is like talking to the chef about the food instead of having the waiter giving you information about it. It's just not the same. Rob, you of course, are one of those positive exceptions.

Sharing interviews like this is sharing very valuable thoughts and info! Thanks again.

[ZAZ]

[Medwin]

the whole "roller doesn't know what type of cigar he's rolling" thing is classic industrial production. (would they notice if someone asked them to roll Model T Fords? ha ha).

I wonder how much improvement in quality there would be (if any at all), if rollers/factories were dedicated to one or two brands each.

Do they have Stakhanov type prizes for best factory of the year as judged by quality control?

[Dbone]

You guys have picked me some cracker boxes. I mean the aroma is SO pungent. Would you say that's mostly high quality seco that Im smelling? I have some boxes with oily wrappers but not much aroma, so this makes me think the wrapper does not impart much aroma at cold.

I've watched this video at least a dozen times, I love it!
