Hand Rolled: A Film About Cigars Released

[shippers]

Just got an email through that Hand Rolled: A Film About Cigars has just released on iTunes. I haven't watched it myself yet (going to this weekend I think) but it looks pretty good from the trailer with a lot of big names interviewed. Have any of you guys seen it yet? What do you think?

Now available for rental on Amazon Prime also.

I watched it on iTunes. Interesting, since it is about cigars, but unsurprisingly trumpets a strong NC bias.  Fully expected given the participants and the mentality of the New World marketplace..

I guess it is useful to hear what industry guys like Manuel Quesada have to say, but i have smoked numerous Quesadas, including a Nat Sherman Timeless over the past weekend. I traded my uncle my HU Connie A for his Timeless and we had a beer and a nice chat in the shade...an event that transcended the cigars themselves.

Thanks...but I'll form my own opinions on questions such as the eternal CC vs. NC debate.  One can only answer for oneself.

However, there is no denying that these NC makers did a great job building up the industry in various locales and for the most part they seem to be contributing to communities which would have very little economic vibrancy without the cigar jobs. Overall, a success story in the face of many challenges.

Also got round to watching it last week. I thought it was pretty good - nice to watch a documentary that is positive about cigars for a change! I found the Cuban debate interesting - I do prefer Cubans but there is no denying the construction and value that can be found in new world sticks.

Overall detailed, interesting interviews and the production value was high. Worth a watch.

Thanks for the heads up. Will watch this week. I really liked the ones James Suckling did...that's my reference point so far.
