CanadianKodiak Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 I just bought a couple of Panetelas in the hopes of finding a less expensive aka cheap, quality smoke I can have after work without spending a lot of money. On the box it was listed as being "hand finished". However when I search out the two smokes on line they're listed as "hand made". Anyone know what the difference is?
CaptainQuintero Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Some cheaper end cigars used to be machine rolled and machine finished (wrapper applied via machine). Over the last few years most of these have changed to machine made and hand finished (wrapper is put on by hand) and some to totally hand made. I think the only totally machine made ones left are gunatanameras, troya and belinda.
sw15825 Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Check on cubancigarwebsite.com for full explanation under production/cigar production. It lists all types of production methods, including hand finished, which I believe is machine made or bunched with a hand finished or applied wrapper. I think they quit this around 2002 and transitioned to all machine or all handmade cigars only.
orangedog Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Hand finish is what happens when I can't sleep at night. well played!
Vortigan Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Hand finish is what happens when I can't sleep at night. I'm told you can even machine finish that too!!

Good stuff for a newbie to the hobby. I think the rest of you might want to start investing less in cigars and more in hand lotion
