I could see a really bad fake being out there but I always thought they were so monumentally difficult to roll that there were less than 10 people who could roll them left working in the factories. The length being the challenge.

Maybe someone here can speak to difficulty to roll.

I asked Senhor Gustavo when i met him a few days ago which cigars he considers the most difficult to make.

In this order:

Diademas (even the best most experienced rollers have to go for a class for these).

Anything longer than a double corona (the Monte "A" falls into this category)

and surprisingly, Panatelas.

Anything else he can do with his eyes closed (and he literally demonstrated this by rolling a PC without even looking at it -- quite a party trick!)

Had one recently a few months ago and loved it, in part for flavor, in part for the novelty.

In-line with the rest of this thread from years back...I have a diademas that I haven't tried yet...
