Someone from the FOH organized this for last night. Had a decent showing. All three rollers showed up, and would roll you whatever you asked for. Took a few snaps on my iphone. Good time.

I love how this lady talked on her cellphone almost the whole time she rolled.



This is the head roller, Titi. She says she's been doing it for 28 years, ever since she was a small girl in Cuba.


I got 4 robusto's. Had the foot left on for that little added enjoyment. You can see one went MIA immediately.

It was one of the better Correnti's I smoked. No harshness, and decent cuban flavor. Got a little strong near the end. Had to put down the last inch, or it would have been a terrible ride back home. You definitely have to go with the dark wrappers there. The corojo's just dont cut it.

My pics are of her rolling your Lance's.

haven't smoked mine yet. Pedro smoked his and says that it was quite good.

She also rolled me a 109 sized vitola. Might have to wait a few months for that one.

I saw that my plastic bag started to fog up after I put my cigars in the bag. Lots of humiditiy. Will let them settle down before firing one up.

Thanks for sharing the pics.

Its awesome to see the pros at work, gives you even more appreciation for their work when you try to roll one yourself....its damn tough. A few weeks ago I got to see the master don pepin himself roll a few in person (and i might even have a few sticks that he rolled :halfgrinw)
