Enter Packing, Rolling, Banding, Boxing While on assignment, I visited almost all the countries where cigars are manufactured. It is said that 400 hands touch each cigar in the process of its creation, from the field to the factory, washing, drying, sorting, fermenting, packing, stripping, bunching, rolling, inspecting, banding and boxing. I was there to shoot the factories, the owners and mangers of the various locations, but the workers drew me in.
