A Lesson In Sorting & Quality Control: The Rocky Patel Trip

http://smokinghotcigarchick.com While on the Rocky Patel trip in Honduras, Nimish and Gustavo explained the importance of sorting and the details that are looked into to maintain quality control.

Once the tobacco leaves arrive and go through fermentation, the leaves are sorted by texture, color, and size. The texture of the tobacco changes between seco, viso, and ligero which assists in keeping the tobacco sorted properly.

With all that care it is pretty amazing how inexpensive they are honestly.

Definitely worth it- and I'm more than happy to pay for handmade quality as well ;)

It is really more of a matter that women naturally have a good eye for detecting the slightest differences in color, far more than men- not necessarily a completely color blind issue and generally speaking of course.

I'll agree with that thank you- to all the people involved. Lots of time and care goes into a cigar, let's make the most of each.

It's Amazing to see the care put behind a wonderful cigar. This is why I will always put the extra few bucks down for a real cigar. Thank you SmokingHotCigarChick!!!

I love your videos..very informative for a relative newcomer like me. The optics of this one kinda had me thinkin' though. "We use woman because they're not colour blind". I'm not colour blind, (though my hands are calloused). I'm going to say a quiet "thank you" to those unnamed women every time I lite up from now on. Would be neat if they named a cigar after some of them eh? Cheers girl! Frank
