isnt this montecristo?

[jerryg58]

All the factories produce multiple brands. The cigars being sorted are monte 2's.

I just took the video with my Flip Video camera. Nobody battered an eyelid and even played up for the camera.

that's the montecristo factory

[jerryg58]

The factory is known as The Fabrica Partagas. At this factory in downtown Havana they make Cohiba's (various sizes), Partagas, and of-course Montecristo's

[LabSix]

What are they looking for with the sorting? Is it just for size?

[jerryg58]

Predominantly size as the color sorting is performed before this step.

lovely!! ^^

[Fixmanius]

Does that mean this "Fabrica Partagas" make the three premium cigars?

Or in other words, Cohiba, Partagas, and Montecristo cigars are produced by the same factory (but different management perhaps)?
