Reading the article about the roller in West Toledo got me to thinking. How many shops are there with rollers in them.

I know we have a couple here in the area, Cardenas and Casillas. The former has a couple of interesting sticks, The Taco and a Cognac which are not bad at all.

So, let's hear it from those who have them in their town (or know of a good one)!

Habana Premium in Albany has a roller on site, never tried any of his offerings but I have heard good things.

danthebugman... Outlaw Cigar still has an employee that does rolling but he primarily works in the north store. I talk to him all the time when I'm in KC, MO... name is Derrick.

One that I know of kinda locally, not bad but not great. I know there is one in San Antonio also, but they are not very good. Funny thing about that one is the shop is inside a mall!

Yeah we have a roller and his stuff is awesome. He has tons of experience. Including 13 years at fuente. He was one of the select few that were allowed to roll opus. Now he is blending and rolling.

Miles to go before I sleep ...
The shop closest to me (Serafin de Cuba) has a roller ... and in the same plaza there (Tarpon Springs Sponge Docs) is Don Esteban Cigars.

For the pic below ...
