Our Story
With over a decade of experience we are committed to the finest
principles and care in our products and for us, each cigar is an
extension of our love for cigar making
Live Cigar Rollers create some of the most exquisite cigars available,
using the finest tobacco leaves cron around the world and cigar rolling tools
to create a variety of styles, flavors, sizes,
and colors. While we are rolling your cigar, we can tell you
everything you need to know about the plant and, more
essentially, the art of cigar rolling.
A rolling board or table, chaveta “knife,” guillotine, quality press,
and vegetable glue are the instruments used for this hand rolling
method. The instruments used by many cigar rollers today are the
same as they have always been. For them, it’s more about
tradition than technology.
Hand Rolled vs Machine Made Cigar
Because there are only two types of
cigars – hand-rolled and machine-made – categorizing them by their manufacturing
process is the easiest.
For beginners and connoisseurs alike, hand-rolled cigars are the
favored option. Preservatives and chemicals may be present in
machine-produced cigars, whereas hand-rolled cigars are created
entirely of tobacco. In hand-rolled cigars, the filler, as well as the
binder that holds the filler and the outer wrapper, are all constructed entirely of tobacco leaves
Cigar tobacco is grown in a variety of locations around the world,
but the best tobacco comes from Cuba, Mexico, Brazil, the
Dominican Republic, and Honduras. In general, hand-rolled cigar
tobacco tastes better than machine-made cigar tobacco.
