Interesting and brief journey from seed to cigar.

One curious observation at the "Montecristo" factory in the DR:

Instead of using a nineteenth century chaveta, the torcedora is using what appears to be a rotary pastry wheel. You can see that it has two distinct wheels at the head.

Nice videos! I've been looking for a rotary knife like that. I modified a Fiskars 18mm Mini Fingertip Rotary Cutter. I like it. They are not so easy to get a hold of.
