The finest tobacco leaves have to be cured after the harvest. This curing process is necessary to get rid of the sugar content and remaining water in the leaves as well as to prevent them from being decomposed. Depending on the kind of tobacco leaves, and the intended colour to be achieved at the end, it will take approximately about 4 – 6 weeks at the most to cure the leaves. Next will be the fermentation stage when the cured leaves will be kept with controlled temperature and relative humidity for some time. The flavour, aroma and other properties of a fine tobacco will be reached during this stage.

The classification of the tobacco leaves as filler binder or wrapper will come next after the leaves had aged gracefully.

Continuous baling of the leaves have to be done repeatedly even at his stage so that the desired maturity of the leaves can be achieved which than made it ready for the experts to start hand making the cigars.

An experienced blend master specialized in identifying and choosing one tobacco leaf to go with another leaf so as to obtain an excellent blend.

After the job is completed by the master blender, the blended tobacco will be bought before the master roller. He or she will then apply his or her expertise in rolling the tobacco filler into different shape. The nest step is to wrap a binder tobacco leaf around the blended filler to keep them in place. A specific molder will be used to press the rolled tobacco, thereby getting the desired shape. The finishing touch comes when the master roller wrap around the rolled tobacco with another tobacco leaf, so that it will look cleaner and smoother. Last but not least, the homemade cigars will need to undergo another aging process before they can be sold to people.
