Mr.Mean Re: sorry limoric Jose piedra is MM.
This is an e-mail I recieved from The Smokin' Cigar Inc., an approved Habanos SA dealer.
These cigars are what is called "Hand Finished" They ARE NOT machine made.
The process is done by a "Human Hand" bunching the tobacco and then putting the tobacco into a "Bunching" device, like a big roll your own cigarette machine. The lever is pulled, bunches the cigar and the wrapper is put on.
Most cigars not rolled in Cuba are made this way such as Macanudo, Arturo Fuente and others.
Hope this answers your question.

So if Jose Piedra is MM so are most of the premium non-Cuban smokes. The method illustrated above is the new trend for hand made smokes. Just want to get the facts right.
