A cigarmaker called a torcedor places a bunch of cigars into a wooden mold which will then be pressed at the Santa Clara cigar factory in San Andres Tuxtlas, Veracruz, Mexico. The factory follows traditional hand rolling using the same process since 1967 and is considered by aficionados as some of the finest cigars in the world.
