Writings dating from that period state that rolls of plants were burnt by the indigenous as they would inhale the smoke – this cigar’s ancestor was called cohiba. Today el torcedor (Spanish for cigar rolling specialist) is considered a tobacco artist a master in hand making a cigar and a true connoisseur of the tobacco world.
