Getting your hands dirty at fabrica

[El Presidente]

Hamlet spent yesterday morning building binder and filler pillons at the fabrica. One the things I love about Hammy is that although he is a blender, a roller, and a QC factory enforcer, he loves understanding every aspect of production from the farmer and field to the final packaging. 

This pillon (binder/filler), will end up being around 600 - 700 lbs. It will be anywhere between eight to 12 months before the tobacco is ready to be baled/stored.

What happens if someone flakes ashes on the leaves while smoking? Or are the rollers much too skilled and practiced to end up wearing as much ash as I often do? 😆

I love the "we work with what we have" spirit they are using. Looks like cardboard pillars, yes?

Knock together the timber frame. Line with cardboard. Cheap, quick, effective.
