Just a little info for newbies searching the site...

Spanish Terms/Markings

Hecho a Mano - Made by hand. These cigars are machine bunched and then finished by hand.
Totalmente a Mano - Totally by hand. These cigars are made completely by hand from start to finish without exception.
Envuelto a Mano - Wrapped by hand. Typically used on boxes of machine-made cigars that were only packaged (sorted, cello'd, and placed in the box) by hand.
Hecho en Cuba - Made in Cuba. Describes only the origin of manufacture and not the method of construction.
