Plastic cigar wrapper!!!!!
Options
This might be a newbie question but cigars with the clear plastic wrapper, are they factory rolled or hand rolled and put in the wrapper? For example the montecristo #2.

Could be either. The plastic (actually cellophane, which as kuzi mentioned elsethread, isn't a plastic) doesn't tell you anything, either way. Cheap, machine-made cigars are wrapped in cello, and so are premium, hand-made cigars. I would think the actual cello-wrapping process is done by machine for all cigars, since it has no effect on the smoking qualities.
Montecristo is a premium, hand-made cigar. -
Thanks for the info!!

As urbino said, the cello tells nothing some very high end cigars come with cello some without same for low end hand rolleds and machine made. Also as a side bit of info apparently the cello tastes like chicken. I personally have never tried it but we have some interesting cats on this here forum. LMAO. Welcome aboard!

i once saw a video of a cigar maker putting cello on a cigar by hand. I have no clue if this is an industry standard or not though.
-
Wow. Maybe they do. It just seems to me like a torcedor would have better (and more profitable) things to do with his/her time than add cello.
-
it may have been that persons only job. as in the torcedor rolls em up and puts em in a box. the next person to handle them takes them out of the box and puts cellophane on them.

Very true. Geez, what a tedious job that would be.

On CAO CD they show the women putting the bands on the cigar and cello too...

and they make less in one day than i make in an hour.urbino:Very true. Geez, what a tedious job that would be.
