5 Cigar Cases You Can Add To Your Bar

In 1865, at a Cuban cigar factory, something extraordinary began to take shape for the first time. It wasn’t about the making of cigars—the size or kind—but more about the way hand-made cigar rollers at the factories found a source of entertainment in a busy and quite a strenuous job.

It is said it was then that the oral tradition of reading stories became a way for the workers to educate themselves. The tale has it that when workers at the El Figaro factory picked a colleague to read to them as they rolled, they promised to produce more cigars to compensate for the missing worker.

Later, they chipped in to pay a salary. Despite initial resistance from factory owners, the practice spread, and the factories started appointing a lector (reader) to read them stories while they worked.

It also helped spread the cause of Cuban independence at the end of the 19th century—political activism that led to temporary bans. A lot of the culture continues into the present day, although many hand-made cigars are now traded for machine-made, given the demand for cigars across the world.

Whatever the case may be, the spirit of craftsmanship can also be seen in the way a cigar is cut, carried, and lit. One of the most expensive collectibles, cigars with their rich history, handmade craftsmanship, and the way they exude luxury makes them highly desirable still to this day and call for a quality casing that retains everything that cigars stand for.
