Tobacco harvest in Pinar del Río
The journey begins in Pinar del Ríothe heart of tobacco growing. There we experience at first hand how the plants are harvested by hand. Under the hot Cuban sun, we learn what it takes to select the best leaves. Afterwards, we make our way to the drying houses - where the tobacco leaves slowly develop their characteristic aroma.
Craftsmanship in the La Corona factory
A central highlight of the film is the visit to the renowned La Corona factory in Havana. Here we see the art of Cigar production in Cuba in its most beautiful form: steady hands, decades of experience and an unmistakable feel for quality. Every movement is perfect. Every move is part of a centuries-old tradition.
Thomas rolls his first cigar
Particularly moving: Thomas rolls his own cigar in the factory. A moment that is not only symbolic, but also shows how deep the respect for this craft goes.
