but not you, huh?
you did ask a lotta questions...

I believe Tatuaje are made by My Father with propriety blends dictated by Tatuaje.

:-k =d> 🤔 =d> 😳

I believe Ashtons are made in Fuente's factory(s).

Take no notice of Rocky Patel behind the curtain.

making a cigar, with just a few tobacco leaves, is a much simpler process which doesn't require more than a small table top and a place to hold the leaves and a couple of hand tools, takes only a few minutes when expertly done... to make different cigars in the same place, you just have to put in the different leaves for each specific cigar...

compare that to building a car, with several hundred thousand parts, with some very specialized automated processes and some human processes requiring hundreds of different tools, and separate facilities for some of the work (painting)...taking many hours from start to finish...

the automation in car manufacturing is programmed to very tight tolerances for the specific model, and would require extensive re-programming and logistics for parts deployment in the various stages of production in order to make a different model of car...

A cigar factory capable of any sort of quantity is still a capital investment, boutique brands generally cannot fund that sort of investment. But, in any factory where there is a very manual process, there will tend to be quality tiers too, so that if you are contracting you can likely specify the level of care you wish to take (i.e., what level of skill you want rolling). As already mentioned, there are several large brands that also have their own contact factories, as a fully utilized factory is a profitable factory.
