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. We then make our way to the drying houses, where the tobacco leaves slowly develop their characteristic flavour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:1em\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"handwerkskunst-in-der-la-corona-fabrik\">Craftsmanship in the La Corona factory<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:1em\">A central highlight of the film is the visit to the renowned <strong>La Corona factory<\/strong> in <strong>Havana<\/strong>. Here we see the art of <strong>Cigar production in Cuba<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"thomas-rollt-seine-erste-zigarre\">Thomas rolls his first cigar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Particularly moving: <strong>Thomas rolls his own cigar in the factory<\/strong>. A moment that is not only symbolic, but also shows how deep the respect for this craft goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"der-film-verandert-deinen-blick\">The film changes your view<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This film not only shows, <strong>How cigars are made in Cuba<\/strong>, but changes the view of the product - from cultivation to processing to the finished cigar.
